He was known to phrase it that way outside the court, and that is what is

in some law classes at Yale. The more correct version was stated in

Marbury vs
Madison and goes "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial
department to say what the law is."


Which (last part there) is entirely correct, or at least for the SC to
determine the Constitutionality.
