Tho opinion of tho court was rendered by JjiJg" Huiuiiug vlio be gan by laying dotf tho proposition ''that government no jhiwlt y tmplltMiun, out only delegated such powers as wore cxjrr.u ly enumerated."

Courts havo power ovor tlio Stain Courts, they would also have power over 'tho Statu laws iwwcr over tlio operation of those laws within tho Territory of tho United Slates jrntrcr to nullify every act of the States." 'llio final conclusion is that "tho Supremo Court of (icorma i coenuul and coordi- wtle teith the Supreme Court of Uie II. ,V., and not inferior and subordinate to that Court.
