AI-Generated Deep Dive Summary

The Supreme Court marked a significant anniversary on Tuesday, February 24, with the 220th anniversary of its landmark ruling in *Marbury v. Madison*. This case is often cited as establishing the principle of judicial review, but scholars continue to debate whether the decision was more about political strategy than legal precedent. The Court’s order list from Monday included several notable cases, such as *Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County*, which asks whether local governments can hold oil and gas companies liable for climate change under state law. Another case, *Havana Docks Corporation v. Royal Caribbean Cruises* and *Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S.A.*, involves U.S. businesses seeking compensation for assets seized by Cuba’s communist government over 65 years ago.

Meanwhile, the justices considered the constitutionality of tax foreclosure sales in *Pung v.
