1803 at least. They made up their own right to strike down laws (Marbury v. Madison).

Admittedly, I'm not sure what a supreme court does if they can't do that, but it's kinda funny that they bootstrapped it themselves.

in which the supreme court said that the constitution says that the supreme court can say what the constitution says.

and everyone went along with it!
