The second page details the Court's institutional limitations and how its decisions can evolve over time. It emphasizes the Court's dependence on other branches for enforcement and its inability to initiate cases independently.
Example The Dobbs v Jackson 2022 decision reversing previous abortion rights rulings demonstrates how Court precedents can change dramatically.
Highlight The Court's lack of enforcement powers was notably demonstrated in 1963 when federal intervention was needed to implement Brown v Board of Education.
Definition The War Powers Act of 1973 exemplifies legislation that remains constitutionally contested but cannot be reviewed until a specific case reaches the Court.
Quote "S.C have no police or standing army to enforce their decisions, enforcement comes about more from the 'goodwill' of Americans to respect the constitution."
Vocabulary Standing army - A permanent, professional military force maintained during peacetime, which the Supreme Court notably lacks for enforcement.
The first page explores how presidential and congressional powers shape the Supreme Court's operation and effectiveness. Presidential influence manifests through nominations and public statements, while Congress exercises control through various mechanisms.
Example George W. Bush's nomination of Samuel Alito to replace Sandra Day O'Connor shifted the Court's ideological balance toward conservatism.
Highlight Presidential pardons serve as a significant executive power, exemplified by Ford's pardon of Nixon in 1974 and Bush's pardon of Casper Weinberger in 1992.
Definition Congressional amendments represent a powerful check on Supreme Court decisions, allowing Congress to effectively overrule Court interpretations through constitutional changes.
Quote "The court appears to act in the understanding that if the public were to view its decisions as lacking credibility its legitimacy could be at risk."
Vocabulary Impeachment - A formal process where the House can bring charges against officials and the Senate conducts trials, requiring a two-thirds majority for removal.
