Cases from the Supreme Court
1.John and Mary Beth Tinker of Des Moines, Iowa, wore black armbands to their public school as a symbol of protest against American involvement in the Vietnam War. When school authorities asked that the Tinkers remove their armbands, they refused and were subsequently suspended. The Supreme Court decided that the Tinkers had the right to wear the armbands, with Justice Abe Fortas stating that no one expects students to “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.”
2.Ernesto Miranda was arrested after a crime victim identified him, but police officers questioning him did not inform him of his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, or of his Sixth Amendment right to the assistance of an attorney. While he confessed to the crime, his attorney later argued that his confession should have been excluded from trial. The Supreme Court agreed, deciding that the police had not taken proper steps to inform Miranda of his rights.
Wait, How Do Cases Make it to the Supreme Court Anyway?

"Branches of Government" Lyrics
The government that oversees the land of the free
Has separation of power; it's divided in three
Uses checks and balances most responsibly
The balance of the power is what protects you and me
What do the House of Representatives do
Along with one hundred Senators, too?
They make up new laws for me and you
And they can override a presidential veto, too
Which branch of government makes the law?
What's this branch of government called?
It's the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.
Nine appointed judges on the Supreme Court's bench
The President picks them out, but the Senate votes them in
They decide if the laws of our land are still fair
They're the court of last resort; the final interpreter
Which branch of government interprets the law?
What's this branch of government called?
It's the JUDICIAL BRANCH.
The leader of the military and the police
Is the president, whose job it is to keep the peace
Enforcing the laws makes him commander in chief
He'll make difficult choices if it will keep you safe
Which branch of government enforces the law?
What's this branch of government called?
It's the EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
Just to be clear; we're not talking about a tree branch!
The Legislative Branch is good at making the laws
And the Judicial branch makes sure the laws have no flaws
The Executive Branch is who enforces it all because
Balanced, but separate powers are good for us all
Legislative, Judicial, Executive
Checks and balances - a good way to live.
Legislative, Judicial, Executive
Checks and balances - a good way to live...
