Marbury vs. Madison says that the courts are subject to the Constitution. I guess your professors excised out that part.

Okay. We’ve gone through this before. Show us how the courts acted un-Constitutionally. I won’t argue that it wasn’t crappy law. It was. But to say they acted un-Constitutionally—it just isn’t there.

It was perfectly within their limits to strike down a law that they found unconstitutional. Same thing happened in Iowa. It’s up to the legislatures to do something about it.
