Do US Supreme Court justices preside over courts?
Not exactly. "Preside" means "to be in charge of," and that responsibility falls to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or, in his (or her) absence, the Senior Associate Justice (justice who has served on the court longest). All Supreme Court justices are assigned one or more Circuits over which they have responsibility for emergency orders, per federal law (18 USC § 42): "The Chief Justice of the United States and the associate justices of the Supreme Court shall from time to time be allotted as circuit justices among the circuits by order of the Supreme Court. "The Chief Justice may make such allotments in vacation. A justice may be assigned to more than one circuit, and two or more justices may be assigned to the same circuit." The justices do not preside over the Circuits, however. US District Courts typically seat only one judge per case to preside over the Court; the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts typically provide for appellate review by a three-judge panel, with one of the three presiding over the panel.
Who failed to deliver Marbury's commission on time and who wrote the US Supreme Court decision against Marbury?
John Marshall, who was Secretary of State under the second US President, John Adams, was unable to deliver all 42 new justice of the peace commissions established under the recent Organic Act of 1801 before Adams left office, because Adams signed and sealed the appointments on the last day of his Presidency (the men later became known as the "Midnight Judges" for his last-minute action).Marshall, who had recently been appointed Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, assumed his replacement, James Madison, would complete the task. Madison, however, was a member of the Democratic-Republican party, as was the incoming President, Thomas Jefferson. Adams was a member of the Federalist party, and all the appointments had been made to members of his own party. When Jefferson discovered there were undelivered commissions, he reduced the number of commissions by 12, nominated Democratic-Republicans to five of the positions, and allowed Madison to arrange delivery of the rest.William Marbury was one of the twelve whose commission was eliminated, so he filed a motion in the US Supreme Court requesting a writ of mandamus be issued against James Madison, forcing him to deliver the commission Marbury needed to take office.John Marshall wrote the opinion in the Marbury v. Madison(1803) case that attempted to resolve both the disposition of the judicial appointments, and the right of the court to issue a writ of mandamus (an order requiring Madison to take an official action) to Madison, compelling him to deliver the paperwork.The decision was actually in favor of Marbury, in that the Court determined he was entitled to his position; however, they also ruled that part of the Judicial Act of 1789, which gave the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over such matters, was unconstitutional because Congress had improperly assigned the Supreme Court a role not prescribed by the Constitution.Marshall said the Supreme Court only had appellate authority over the Marbury issue, and that the case would have to be tried in the lower courts and exhaust its lower-court appeals before the Supreme Court could review the case.Marbury v. Madison is one of the most important landmark cases in Supreme Court history, because the Court interpreted the Constitution to give them the power of judicial review over legislation created by Congress and the Executive branch, and to overturn legislation they considered to be unconstitutional.For more in-depth information about this case, see Related Links, below.
What law did the US Supreme Court declare unconstitutional in Marbury v. Madison?
The Marbury v Madison (1803) decision concerned Article III of the Constitution, especially the section which states that "the judicial power shall extend to all cases . . . arising under the Constitution." The decision of Marbury v Madison resolved any doubt about that clause. The power of Judicial Review, the right to rule on the actions and acts of the federal government, rested with the federal courts. This decision gave the Supreme Court the power to declare laws unconstitutional.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
Who was William Marbury?
William Marbury was a Georgetown businessman and member of the Federalist party whom John Adams appointed justice of the peace of the District of Columbia the day before he left office. Because Adams had filled 58 judicial positions (42 justices of the peace and 16 federal judgeships), the Secretary of State, John Marshall, was unable to deliver all of the commissions before assuming his new role as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.The men Adams appointed became known as the "Midnight Judges" for Adams' last-minute exploitation of the Judiciary Act of 1801 and the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801.The appointments were made during the last few days before Adams left office, and were not delivered before the new President, Thomas Jefferson, was sworn in. Jefferson reduced the number of commissions from 42 to 30, and reappointed members of his own party to five of the 30 justice of the peace positions. William Marbury was among those whose commission was destroyed.Marbury then asked the Supreme Court to issue a writ of mandamus (an order forcing a public official to take action) compelling Madison to award Marbury his commission.The Supreme Court determined that, while Marbury was legally entitled to hold the position Adams appointed him to, the Court had no authority to order the Secretary of State to deliver the paperwork because the Judiciary Act of 1789, in which Congress gave the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over such matters, was unconstitutional because it awarded the Court powers not specifically prescribed in the Constitution. This decision established the Supreme Court's right of judicial reviewover legislation.Marbury never got his commission.Case Citation:Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)For more information see Related Questions, below.
What is the shortest US Supreme Court opinion?
According to Ryan C. Black and James F. Spriggs II, in their analysis of trends in Supreme Court decisions, the shortest opinion is a mere ten words. Unfortunately, their paper didn't cite the case to which they referred, nor the criteria used for determining which comments counted as opinions, as opposed to orders, or summaries from the Reporter of Decisions.The median length of an opinion has increased significantly over the years, from an average of 763 words in the first 20 years of the court (1790-1810) to an average of 4,250 words today. Earlier opinions were more likely to have been given orally, then summarized for publication by the Reporter of the Court, so it's difficult to gauge which opinion from that era may have been shortest. In 1834, the Supreme Court rules changed to require Justices to submit written opinions on each case. While these are more reliable sources of information, all viewed opinions substantially exceeded Black's and Spriggs' 10-word claim.Several days' research in the Justia.com Supreme Court database turned up the following possibilities, based solely on direct quotes or written opinions from the Justices. Reporter summaries and orders issued without comment were disqualified from the search.United States v. Barker, 15 US 395 (1817) 6 WordsIn an appeal to the Supreme Court in which Barker prevailed over the government, his request for reimbursement of costs met the following comment from Chief Justice John Marshall: "The United States never pays costs." (While this quote is only six words long, it may qualify more as a statement than an opinion.)Beatty v. Maryland, 11 US 281 (1812) 10 WordsDecided: a final account settled by an administrator with the orphans' court, is not conclusive evidence in his favor upon the issue of devastavit vel non.Justice Gabriel Duval delivered the opinion of the Court: "The account was only binding upon the representatives of the estate, the distributees, and they might still open it in the general court. But the creditors are no parties to the settlement of the account, and cannot be bound by it."There can be no doubt that the judgment against the administratrix, the inventory and two first accounts were conclusive evidence of a devastavit."Chief Justice John Marshall concurred: "I believe that is the law throughout the United States." (Meets the ten-word criteria, but, again, may not fit the criteria for an opinion.)Turner v. Enrille, 4 US 7 (1799) 13 WordsIn reversing a South Carolina case awarding damages and issuing a writ of error, the Court decided per curiam, "The decision in the case of Bingham v. Cabot must govern the present case." (13 words)Perhaps the shortest opinions in recent history are per curiam decisions:Mohawk Industries, Inc., v. Williams, 546 US ___ (2005) 66 WordsPER CURIAM.The writ of certiorari limited to Question 1 presented bythe petition, granted at 546 U. S. ___ (2005), is dismissedas improvidently granted. The petition for a writ of certio-rari is granted. The judgment is vacated, and the case isremanded to the United States Court of Appeals for theEleventh Circuit for further consideration in light of Anzav. Ideal Steel Supply Corp., ante, p. ___.(66 words; not bad for the 2005 Court)Claiborne v. United States, 551 US ___ (2007) 42 WordsPer Curiam: The Court is advised that the petitioner died in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 30, 2007. The judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit is therefore vacated as moot. See United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U. S. 36 (1950). (42 words; even better)Research continues. If shorter opinions are located, this question will be updated appropriately.

"Preside" means "to be in charge of," and that responsibility falls to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or, in his (or her) absence, the Senior Associate Justice (justice who has served on the court longest).

The decimal 42 is what in fraction?

When a defendant is in contempt of a court order and his 42 days for filing an appeal have passed what can be done legally to properly enforce the original court order signed by the Judge?
If the defendant in the case has not exercised their right of appeal, then they have defaulted on their privilege to do so, then the original order of the court becomes fully enforceable. If this is a civil court judgement, there is no option except to file a motion for civil contempt (of the judge's original order) with the court, and getting the other party back to court for a hearing.
