Scott Lemeiux finds this "dramatization" of Gibbons v. Ogden:

What is this [Commerce] power? It is the power to regulate, that is, to prescribe the rule by which commerce is to be governed. This power, like all others vested in Congress, is complete in itself, may be exercised to its utmost extent, and acknowledges no limitations other than are prescribed in the Constitution.

Later, a dramatization of McCulloch v. Maryland.

    I wonder why this series was made. (5.00 / 1) (#1)

    It starts with Marbury v Madison but doesn't seem to go further than than a few cases.  Or at least that's what's available on youtube.

    At first I thought it was a creative way to teach the subject because it would get non-lawyers more engaged in the arguments.

    Then I noticed there are no comments on this post. :)

    But I enjoyed it.

    Democrats should adopt the last (none / 0) (#2)

    paragraph of Marshall's opinion as their mantra.
