Supreme Court

 

The Supreme Court

        The Supreme Court is made up of nine Chief Justices and the court is one of the strongest allies the people have within the Federal Government. Since it's conception the Supreme Court has slowly gained more and more power, allowing them to choose laws or rulings that they deem unconstitutional. The role of a Supreme Court Justice is incredibly prestigious as there have only been little over one hundred justices in US history. Despite the prestigious role, the job is not easy, the justices get about 200 new cases every week, that is over 7000 in a single year, meaning that the review process that they must go through is long and tedious. The court however does not have to choose every case that lands on their desk, this is thanks to certiorari, it gives the justices the right to choose which cases will be heard, and which ones will not. The court is incredibly open about their process, unlike other corners of government they announce all of their verdicts and all of their thoughts to the people so they can know what the court has been doing. Within the courts meetings there is an unspoken rule where everyone at the table must be allowed to speak at least once once on the matter before someone can speak twice. The Supreme Court is an incredibly strong ally for the people of the United States, and they fight for what is right in every case that they hear. Without the court the other two branches of government would run rampant and unchecked, which is a scary thing to think about.
