 History and workings of the U.S. Supreme Court

-  The supreme court is made up of nine justices who all have a key role in how the judiciary system works. Each and every one of the justices bring their own views and smarts to the court, which they then use during debates and discussions on legal matters that are going on at the time. After being voted in these justices have a job for life and are trusted to uphold the constitution and fight for everyone fairly. The supreme court is a huge part of the american society and their jobs shouldn't go unrecognized.

- The supreme court must go through a selection process to make sure their cases are worthwhile and not just over something that could be fixed with a compromise. During this process they take into ccount the significance, potential outcomes and the relevance before moving on. While the process can be very boring and tedious it is very important and involves a lot of startegy to find cases that align with their values, in hopes of bringing them to the most succesful and meaningful outcomes.

- Sandra Day O’Connor the first woman to serve on the Court, she served on the court from 1981 to 2006. She set the boundry for many other women to follow in her footsteps. This was a huge part of history because up until that point in 1981 the Supreme Court had been straight males. After her amazing feat their have been 5 women to follow after her and 4 of them are currently serving at this moment (Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson). 

- The video changed the way I thought of the supreme court by giving me a deeper insight of the actual process that things go through and how there are different levels to everything. After watching the videos I had learned about the selection and the voting process.
