Note 62 — Monday June 4. In Committee of the Whole
Reading edition
According to Pierce, King followed Wilson:
"Mr. King was of opinion that the Judicial ought not to join in the negative of a Law, because the Judges will have the expounding of those Laws when they come before them; and they will no doubt stop the operation of such as shall appear repugnant to the Constitution."—Pierce's Notes, Am. Hist. Rev., iii., 322.
