Topic 2.10: The Court in Action

Learning Objective: LO 2.10.A

Explain how life tenure can lead to debate about the Supreme Court’s power.

Life tenure for justices allows the court to function independent of the current political climate. As a result of this independence, the Court can deliver controversial or unpopular court decisions, which in turn can lead to debate about the court’s power.
