- Abstract
- The Justices advance constitutional objections to Judiciary Act which makes Supreme Court justices also circuit court judges. This produces the situation in which the same men will sit in judgment on their own decisions. Cite constitutional provisions as limiting Supreme Court to appellate review, except in certain specified cases.
