The activities of the Justices while riding circuit are discussed in detail in volumes 2 (1989) and 3 (1990) of The Documentary History of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1789–1800 (New York: Columbia University Press). John Jay’s letter to John Adams, declining the president’s offer of resuming the position of Chief Justice, is reprinted in The Correspondence and Public Papers of John Jay, ed. Henry P. Johnson (New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1890), 4:284–85. It is cited in Michael J. Klarman’s interesting article, “How Great Were the ‘Great’ Marshall Court Decisions?”Virginia Law Review 87:1111, 1154, n. 226.

For a recent citation of John Marshall’s famous line about the Court’s “province and duty” to “say what the law is,” see the Supreme Court’s 2008 decision in Boumediene v. Bush, invalidating an act of Congress that stripped the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear cases brought by detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Writing for the majority, Justice Kennedy said that “[t]o hold the political branches have the power to switch the Constitution on or off at will … would permit a striking anomaly in our tripartite system of government, leading to a regime in which Congress and the President, not this Court, say ‘what the law is’” [citing Marbury].
