The Supreme Court

In 1790, the elite of the elite were chosen to come together and to form The Supreme Court in New York. In 1801 the Supreme Court relocated to Washington D.C where throughout the years about 100 Supreme Court Justices served an average of 16 years before retiring. Being elected by the President is just the beginning of a long journey. The Justices work with a 229 year old document called the Constitution which is "The basic written set of principles and precedents of federal government int the US, which came into operation in 1789 and has since been modified by twenty-seven amendments". Some Justices say that there is a three year rule which means you don't actually start "working" until you've been a Justice for three years, others say it takes almost five years to not feel overwhelmed with the amount of work you are given.

Throughout the course of only a year, the Supreme Court receives 100 cases per week which means that the Justices have to go through 7,000 per year and they only accept about 100 to here in court. The Justices meet weekly to vote on which cases they think they should hear for that portion of time. While doing that, they release copies of their thoughts about the case to the press before going into the court room to give the press time to get everything ready for the next days paper.
