The Supreme Court 

    Having read the History.com article about the United States Supreme Court, one thing I learned about the Supreme Court is that the Chief Justice has the authority to assign who will write the courts opinion (In the case the Chief Justice is apart of the majority opinion). I have heard a lot about the Supreme Court in highschool and I know the position Chief Justice, but I never knew what they actually did. I believe that the government should limit hierarchy as much as possible, but I recognize that there is value to having in charge of organization. 

    I believe the most notable power the supreme court has is that it has the final say in the constitutionality of  the law. For the court to carry out its purpose the judges would have to be emotionless interpreters of the constitution, however, it seems as though appointing judges based on their political usefulness as opposed to their merit in interpreting the constitution has become the fad. 

    The article did not change my perspective about the supreme court. I found it information, and it did remind me of things I forgot since highschool, but it was quite surface level for an institution as powerful as the supreme court.
