It would formally be recorded as "Oral Argument."

It isn’t testimony because the attorney isn’t under oath.

It isn’t a government publication because the government isn’t authorizing the claims.

And it isn’t a lecture, because it is a give-and-take session between attorneys and justices.

There is no academic problem with characterizing the argument as "Oral Argument in the Case of…" That’s fine.

How much time does each side have to present their arguments? What are the criteria for the supreme court to hear a case? List the two ways cases come to the supreme court?

8-9000 cases each year, but the USSC only hears a tiny fraction. 79 were heard last term. Of those, 59 were overturned. The court doesn’t announce why it agrees to hear a particular case, but it’s usually to clear up a piece of law, to "right a wrong", or because they want to change the reasoning behind a ruled in a prior decision. .

The 2 ways a case can get to the court are on appeal from a lower court, or Original Jurisdiction (where two states are suing each other, or between the US and a State, or there’s a foreign ambassador involved).

What supreme court cases have been most divisive or influential in the 20th century?

Newly appointed Judge Sotomayor will be lending opinions on these most interesting 5 pending cases up for debate—and official decision. Briefs on case details can be found here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20091005/us_time/08599192776000;_ylt=An3UtFjKgaERFeWFisjIqzd0fNdF

Here are MY views on these cases:

Salazar v. Buono: Congress LEGALLY SOLD land parcel the cross stands on to the VFW—allowing the Cross Monument safe to stand where it is. Buddhists should drop arguments otherwise, reapply for permission to construct their temple on ANOTHER site on said National Park property. IF said permission is DENIED—THEN the Buddhists have discrimination contentions.

Maryland v. Shatzer: A “bright-line” ploy, acted upon by a criminal who THINKS he’s clever—but is far from anything bright; Shatzer REALLY wants to lose this one—otherwise, he AND his attorney face FELONY charges of LYING to police during initial questioning. Shatzer’s attorney best prepare to remove all ties to Shatzer—and begin defending BOTH his freedom AND his bar pratice license. To any end: Shatzer stands to win a small battle—but overall LOSE a greater war.

Sullivan/Gilbert v. Florida: Sullivan and Gilbert both have made it resonately clear they WILL IF GIVEN THEIR FREEDOM, harm—and this time perhaps—KILL innocent people of law abident society DESPITE their ages (as minors at the time) when they committed their henious crimes. The Law should DENY them such chances to go out and again commit such crimes.

NRA & McDonald v. Chicago: It must be noted that criminal society will NEVER honor weapons bans on ANY level, be that local/state and Federal. People—with NO prior criminal histories—should be allowed firearm protection against others seeking to KILL them.

American Needle v. NFL: More detail as to WHY the NFL denied leaguewide logo licencing rights to American Needle needs to be brought out before a decision can be reached. Otherwise, the NFL IS the overall governing entity of ALL it’s 32 teams—legally reserving rights to grant such licensing rights to any sports clothing manufacturer it wishes.

What can the supreme court do to enforce its decisions? What is the role of the other branches in enforcing Court decisions? What can the court do without the full support of the other branches?

the executive branch is in charge of enforcing. congress makes laws and the judicial enterperts the laws

i am doing a project for social studies and i have to write a paragraph of the supreme court! one problem, i don’t know what the supreme court is?
so may some great people tell me what that is and if you will be extra kind can you tell me some really intresting facts about important memorials in Washington d.c. Please and Thanks!

I would encourage you to find out. It’s an extremely important part of your future citizenship

I wouldn’t short cut this one.

Congress, the President, and the supreme court were all important in the advancement of people’s civil rights during the post-World War II period. Select one of the above (Congress, the President, or the Supreme Court), and note how it supported the civil rights movement. Be sure to provide specific examples to support your point.
Why is the Supreme Court most important?

everyone had a role to play but LBJ pushed through the law through congress, not the other way around.
supreme court began the journey Lincoln initiated, but they could not change the law.

By definition, the Supreme Court is obligated to use the text of the Constitution as the primary source behind its rationales and decision-making. They serve as its defenders.

Why then, in cases like Brown v. Board of Education, or in the current calls to have the California supreme court strike down the gay marriage amendment, is the Court allowed to overturn the precedent of previous courts or even the amended text of the Constitution itself?

Regardless of the Justices’ view of the intent of the founders, are they not compelled to weigh the text of the Constitution and the precedent of previous Courts over what they think is the founders’ intent?

Also, before I get the inevitable "Y R U A HOMOPHOBE RACIST ZOMG" replies, I’m asking this from a purely legal standpoint; I have no problem at all with the cases I used as an example. Nor do I think they’re incorrect. I’m just wondering what the rationale for the Court to do this is.

Judicial Tyranny thanks to the liberals and the ACLU

The supreme court docket only says that they will decide whether to HEAR the CASE (grant certiorari) on December 5. It doesn’t say that they will actually make a decision about whether the birth certificate is authentic.

So why do people continue to insist that the Supreme Court is going to make some sort of momentous decision on December 5?

There is no evidence. They will not hear the case on 1 December and I believe they will not grant certiorari. People who claim otherwise lack an even basic understanding of the Supreme Court and how it works.

What is the reason that the supreme court ruled in favor of gay marriage to begin with? please provide factual sources.

The majority opinion, by Chief Justice Ronald M. George, declared that any law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation will be constitutionally suspect in California in the same way as laws that discriminate by race or gender.

"An individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights."

The state high court found that the exclusion of gays from marriage deprived them of both liberty and equality rights protected under the state constitution; and that "tradition" was not a reason to deny those rights.
