When it comes to the justice system in America, the Supreme Court is at the top of the food chain. Every year the Supreme Court receives thousands and thousands of petitions that they must sort through and find cases that they feel are deserving of a second look. This job falls into the wheelhouse of nine very prestigious people: the supreme court judges. All judges are appointed by the president after spending years studying law and proving that they are worthy of that title.
Often throughout the video the judges seem at odds and have different views on what exactly the supreme court is like and what it stands for. As a result of the supreme court often giving second looks to crimes with major punishment and prison sentences, I believe this makes the job of the nine judges one of the most important on Earth. The judges have to put forth significant effort to come to a decision on a case. This is because of how different their views are from each others especially with how polarized the left and right sides of politics are today.
Without carefully picked judges in place throughout the history of this country, the justice system in the United States very well may have collapsed. From chief justice John Marshall in the early 1800s up until today; the Supreme Court has helped to keep this nation afloat.
