First, let me suggest that you read a copy of my first book, [Men in Black] (http://www.amazon.com/Men-Black-Supreme-Destroying-America/dp/1596980095), where I address this and other issues at great length.
You've really asked two questions here: where does the Supreme Court's power of judicial review come from and does it have the power to strike down state and federal laws. I believe judicial review outside of those areas specifically mention in the Constitution, or authorize under various judiciary acts passed by Congress, are implied, if legitimate at all. As you may know, the federal circuit courts and federal district courts are created by acts of Congress. Congress also has the power to limit the jurisdiction of these courts, although, it almost never does.
As to your second point about striking down state and federal laws, it depends on the facts. If a state passes a law that clearly usurps a federally granted power under the constitution, then a federal court will strike it down. But again, I would need to know the facts from each case.
Mark Levin's book Men in Black details this. A great read.
It seems to me that if the Court were owned by big business they would have ruled to allow human genes to be patented just a few weeks ago, no?
