Your question is unclear, however, with the separation of powers the Judiciary has nothing directly to do with statutes as legislated by the Congress. It is the Congresses job to ensure that they are Constitutional.



Once enacted and applied, an individual who feels harm from that statute has standing to take it before the court. Through judicial review that single court case can, through judicial review, make it to the United States Supreme Court. That court can indirectly then make a decision as to the “rightness” of that statute as adjudicated in that single case.

Judiciary: 1) interprets how a statute is to be applied in any given instance; 2) develops "caselaw" that interprets the meaning of the statute; and 3) decides whether or not the statute is unconstitutional (or conflicts with other laws) in whole or in part.

in elementary words the dissenting choose Datuk Richard Malanjum stood up for non secular freedom as given in our structure. the different 2 quibbled yet did not grant any technical foundation for his or her decision. what's the point of forcing Lina to be a muslim even as obviously she has customary yet another faith? Is Islam so afraid that an exodus of dedicated will happen? i do no longer imagine so. "allow there be no compulsion in faith: truth sticks out sparkling from blunders: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most truthful hand-carry, that in no way breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all issues." Qur'an, 2:256
