The Judicial Branch
Samuel Alito, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Sonia Sotomayor, Clarence Thomas. Not every case makes it to the Supreme Court for a hearing. For a case to make it, the case must evolve a federal law. One example is brown vs. board of education. This case happened in 1954 when the plaintiff, "brown's" daughter had to go to an all black school miles away from her house instead of the school close to her house. The Supreme Court ruled it as " Un-Constitutional." Some people say that the case ended segregation. Another popular Supreme Court case is the Texas vs. Johnson case. Gregory Johnson burnt a USA flag in front as a building as a protest in 1984 as a protest. the government of Texas saw it as unlawful, and took the case to Washington. The Supreme Court ruled in Johnson's favor because he had right to free speech.
