The Supreme Court has been in session since 1791, when it first convened with a whopping six Justices. Over the years, the court has grown to its current size of nine Justices, each with their own unique personality and judicial style. From Marbury v. Madison to Roe v. Wade, the court has heard some of the most landmark cases in American history.
But what's really fascinating is the court's inner workings. The Justices don't just show up to court and wing it – they spend hours, even days, preparing for each case. They pour over briefs, research precedents, and discuss and debate with their colleagues. It's like a judicial puzzle, and they're all trying to fit the pieces together!
