Blog# 2 - The Supreme Court

 The Supreme court is the one of the Highest Federal Branches in the United States. Early in the Day (1789) the US constitution created the supreme court. The Supreme Court is the most powerful branch that supervises over all of the laws within the United States. The Court has only six jurors that can take part of the decisions being made.  President George Washington issued that the six jurors had to stay in law until they retired or passed away. Learning that the supreme court was initially started on February 1, 1790 and then pushed on to February 2, 1790 because of issues revolving meeting times. In the first term of the supreme court, they did not receive any cases that needed to be dealt with. In there second term of the supreme court they received a mass amount of cases to adhere to. The very first term of the supreme court included John Rutledge, John Jay, William Cushing, John Blair, Robert Harrison and James Wilson. Out of the six that were elected John Jay was the Chief Of Justice ruling over the entire supreme court. The Chief Of Justices job is to set weekly meetings for the justices. He also had the option to rule who wrote the cases opinion through the Supreme Court. The Chief Of Justice is responsible for the actions of our president, which means that if our president were to be impeached by the public then John Jay would be the one making sure it happens. In 1869 the supreme court ordered that the justice system would need 9 spots rather than 5, which includes the Chief of justice. Meaning that the 9 spots would actually be 10 spots and the 5 spots would be 6 spots. Till this day in 2020 we still have 9 spots including a Chief Of Justice. In our current system of Supreme courts in office, we have, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch (2020). There are 3 remarkable justices that helped us get to where the Supreme Court is standing today. Starting off with the most recognizable one, Chief Of Justice- John Marshall. John Marshall was known and referred to be one of the most dominant Chief Justices. He had the longest term of any Chief Of Justices that ever took action. He also created the rule and review on federal laws during the case of 1803 Marbury v. Madison. In 1930 as a new Chief of Justice was elected, Chief Justice Charles Evan Hughes. He created the rights of having property rights. Lastly, Elected in 1950 and lasted till the 1960's, Earl Warren. Earl Warren created the laws that banned school segregation,  and also created the miranda rights. The miranda rights are very crucial because it is your right to remain silent and refrain from incriminating yourself.
