One of the first things that comes to my mind when thinking about the United States and its government is the Supreme Court. In my opinion the Supreme Court is fascinating, especially the fact that members of the Supreme Court are a part of it until death or resignation, there is no timeline.
I was excited to learn more about the Supreme Court as unfortunately I am not that well educated on the whole system and am eager to learn more about how the court makes important decisions for the millions of people residing in the United States of America.
The first thing that I found very interesting and surprised me the most was that there has only been one hundred and fifteen members of the Supreme Court since it was first founded in 1789. I also did not know the President is the only one who picks and nominates a new judge into the Supreme Court and the US senate is the one who confirms and denies his pick. I find that to be a lot of pressure and also a way to have bias into our country as I can imagine a president may pick a justice with a similar political view.
When thinking about the Supreme Court the first thing that comes to my mind is the impact RGB had on women. I will never forget the day when the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade. It has only been a few times in my life when I have seen a nation so much uncertainty and disagreement within our country. No matter your political affiliation or personal views on abortion we can all agree women living in the United States were affected by the Supreme’s Court to overturn Roe V. Wade.
The video was very insightful and I learned a lot about how much power and impact a court of nine people have on the millions living in the United States of America. It is truly amazing.
