S. Res. 108 is a Senate resolution affirming that federal courts have the constitutional authority to review laws and executive actions, and that the executive branch must comply with court rulings. The resolution was introduced by a group of Democratic senators in March 2025 and appears to be responding to statements by Vice President Vance and other officials suggesting the President might disregard federal court decisions. The resolution reaffirms foundational constitutional principles, including the separation of powers among three branches of government and the Supreme Court's 1803 authority in Marbury v. Madison to determine what the law is. As a resolution rather than legislation, it does not create new laws, require funding, or affect the general public directly—instead, it serves as a formal statement of the Senate's position on judicial authority and the importance of the rule of law. The resolution emphasizes that ignoring court decisions would create a constitutional crisis requiring adherence to the Constitution and established legal precedent.
