Not true. The constitution doesn't actually grant the Supreme Court judicial review, that was the result of Marbury v. Madison.

Marbury vs Madison is a result of an interpretation of the constitution, and the constitution de facto grants that power to the highest court of appeal which happens to be the Supreme Court. As a result, the highest court of appeal essentially is the constitution.
