What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know?
Each supreme court justice serves an average of 16 years. There have been over 100 supreme court justices. The supreme court can strike down an act of congress that is unconstitutional. The supreme court receives about 7,000 cases per year.
What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court?
They deliberate in private, they are a model for courts, and are the most powerful judicial body on earth. The supreme court denying to take a case does not mean anything about the case or against the case.
What was the most surprising thing you learned?
They are legitimized by the constitution, but their power comes from the faith of the people that they remain impartial.
How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court?
This video made me think of the supreme court as more independent than I had originally thought.
