UNBIASED Politics

A couple of years ago, Jordan realized that far too few Americans know as much about the Court as they should. In fact, a 2019 C-SPAN poll found that 52% of American voters couldn't name a SINGLE Supreme Court Justice. We need to change that. In this episode, you'll learn: When SCOTUS was founded. Where SCOTUS was originally located. How many Justices sit on the bench. How Justices are selected and appointed. The Difference between the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices. A short biography about each of the current Justices. Majority opinions vs. dissents. How the Court's procedure works including the length of each term, how opinions are issued, who determines who writes each opinion, the format of oral arguments, and much more. After listening, you'll be smarter than the average American when it comes to knowledge of the Supreme Court and that's something to brag about!
