The supreme court is a very special thing to be a part of. Their job is much more intense than some people might think. The two videos attached to the links above delve into what exactly the nine justices do on a daily basis. But, obviously, you wouldn’t be reading this if you wanted to watch the videos instead. Maybe you just care that much about what I have to say (to which I am grateful if you do). Either way, the U.S. Supreme Court is a very important part of our government that the people of The United States of America have gained respect for over the course of the country’s wild history. The one thing that struck me the most was the just the sheer amount of work that the justices have to do. After watching the second video, I learned that the longest part of any case actually comes after the trial has happened.
According to the narrator of the videos, the opinions that justices write can sometimes take weeks to prepare. Then, they need to potentially be looked at by peer editors and always the other justices. What makes this part of every case so long is that the justices have to constantly edit their opinions to account for (and sometimes try to persuade) other points of view. One could imagine that some cases will obviously take much longer than others. While this process may seem annoying and tedious, it is necessary to uphold the laws and proper enforcement of those laws in our country. The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court are some of the best people on the planet. They dedicate their lives to serving a country and ideals that they believe in alongside the rest of the American people.
