SCOTUS

What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know?

That the Chief of Justice also presides over trials of impeachment against the President of the United States that the U.S. Senate of all things considered with Trump's presidency and that I didnt know this…. ? 

What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court?

With over 200 years of cases the Supreme Court has judicial review and so much power and that they may be the most powerful branch.   

What was the most surprising thing you learned? 

They described the room when they are making decisions as quiet as during a storm and also when they said you do your best work after three years,  five years, or when you forget your working for the Supreme Court. Considering the fact most justices were judges,  I didn't think it would take so much time to get acclimated to the job.  

 

How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court?

I learned that I have a much better understanding from the inside of the courts where hearing how they describe being a justice and how they interact with each other. It’s interesting the way they want to be able to respect each other if they don't agree on cases and made me feel like it’s an honor to be justice. It’s hard and they treat it as it should be treated. 

As a whole the article and videos are a great resource for anyone who is interested in the Supreme Court. There's a lot within its way, they talk about laws prescient and amendments and how they impact the courts. Seeing their way of thinking as a whole is very interesting and they have this open mindedness where it seems like they are ready to listen to their colleagues point at the drop of a hat. Listening to Wendel Thomas refer to past court cases with such detail it seems his memory is deep and infinite. There are so many takeaways from these videos within the Supreme Court. I recommend even if it doesn't interest you to watch them as it may just make you a bit smarter about the United States government.
