En 1792 el Tribunal de Circuito Meridional rehusó cumplir las obligaciones impuestas por la Invalid Pensions Act. Dicho órgano judicial consideró la norma inconstitucional, por lo que inaplicó la misma. El Attorney General, Edmund Randolph, interpuso un writ of mandamus en el Tribunal Supremo frente al Tribunal de Circuito. Era la primera vez en la historia de los Estados Unidos que una ley del Congreso se consideraba inconstitucional.
