Blog Post #3: The Supreme Court


Remarks on Recent Supreme Court Decision - GreenHouse17


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

  • One thing that I learned from the Supreme Court Video is that every week the Judicial workers receives over 100 new cases, which comes out to approximately 7,000 a year. Most of them are written arguments to persuade that the lower court ruling was incorrect. That is completely mind blowing to me because I personally feel that a lot of people are still in situations where they didn’t get a fair chance in court. With this type of number being received weekly and only about 100 of them a year for full consideration. It makes sense why cases overall to this day are so backed up, also due to the fact that even as a team of Justices they do different things. 

What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court and the most surprising thing you learned?

    The most important take-away point about the Supreme Court for me was that the most of interest cases are going to always come first. Especially ones that are notable for different reasons, and can be utilized for the purpose of stare decisis. The most surprising thing that I have learned about the Supreme Court is that as of June 2022 115 Justices have served time. Also that the congress has a set seating number of nine and that is still honored to this day 154 years later. 

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

  • The video changed the way I thought about the Supreme Court by giving me a new outlook on the people that have power in the justice system. Sometimes it’s easy for different civilians to have all types of mixed opinions. I can never overlook the fact that the people who are Justices even though they are trained in the law they still deal with human dilemmas. They are people that are no better or different than we are, as referenced in the video they are not disembodied spirits. As a whole, civilians have to become more understanding of certain decisions that are made especially when they uphold the rule of law from an interpreted two hundred year old constitution.

Blog Post #10: Final Post

This class has allowed me to reflect more on my relationship with technology and evaluate if it is healthy or not. Technology is something that I am grateful for in life but I'm thankful to enjoy spending more time with people in person and exploring this beautiful world. The main technological device that occupies majority of my time is my computer. It is a necessity for my future that I stay on top of my responsibilities for each course that I’m taking at the time. Other than that, when it comes to my use of technology It’s very slim. I honestly watch tv more than spending time on social media. I am a believer that doing research strengthens your knowledge and fosters more critical thinking and better analytical skills. Applying that same belief too; is technology making me smarter or being more misleading? I definitely feel it is making me smarter because I’m able to put my good research skills to work and utilize technology the way it needs to be. Even though there are several ...
