A total misunderstanding. First, John Marshall was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who wrote the majority opinion in Marbury vs. Madison. And he didn’t say what later judicial supremacists attribute to him.
He did not assert the supremacy of the Supreme Court. He asserted the supremacy of the Constitution, and pointed out that all three branches have the obligation to adhere to it.
I know that’s not what they teach today in the law schools, but I know how to read and have pretty decent reading comprehension skills, and can think for my myself.

What they teach in law-schools is “case law” and “precedence” which deserve EVERY Citizen’s utter contempt; for ‘precedence’ is nothing more than the Judicial equivalent of the children’s game “telephone”being played with the Citizen’s Liberties.
"It is emphatically the duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is." - Marbury v. Madison.
