Supreme court Information

 I Grew up learning about the political system and the three branches: Executive, Judicial, and the Legislative branches.  The Supreme Court is often referred to as the most important branch of government.  There are nine justices that make up the Supreme Court.  I learned the Supreme Court used to only have 6 judges.  I found this fascinating they would change the number of judges. When they are elected, they have a duty to serve the court for life.  John G. Roberts and Clarence are the top two judges that serve today.  John Roberts is the chief justice and has jurisdiction to hire who goes in the administrative office.   The job of the Supreme Court is to have jurisdiction over all court cases, or any case related to the constitution.  General info  

The most important thing that appealed to me about the Supreme Court is the letters written above the door," Equal Justice under law."  These letters spoke to me about how every person who lives in the United States will get equal treatment in the court system.  Having a justice system that protects ones' rights is a huge advantage to have.  The Supreme has the most responsibility in America.  The United States doesn't need criminals crossing the streets.  The president who elects the judges has the most important job.  He must nominate the person who will spend the rest of their life serving as a Supreme Court Justice. The Supreme Court protects Civil rights and liberties by rejecting unconstitutional laws.  Something I learned is the Supreme Court protects the peoples' privacy.  Without protection the United States would be in shambles.  An example of the Supreme Court Protecting the people was them Using the 14th amendment to, "persons of the same sex engage in... Sexual conduct.".  protection  One of the most difficult backgrounds of a Justice is Clarence Thomas.  He has always been one of the more respected judges on the court. I watched a documentary on Clarence Thomas, and he speaks about the feeling of power he received when he became a Supreme Court Justice.  He faced many hardships and has made our country a better place.  The feeling of power Thomas had, is the same for the rest of the justices as well.  They all serve to protect the citizens of the United States.  The Supreme Court is the number one branch, and they have the power to control the Executive and Legislative branches as well.   People should make sure they are well informed about the Supreme Court, so they are aware of which of their freedoms are being protected.
