The Supreme Court is made up of 9 justices who are responsible for deciding whether or not laws are in line with the U.S. Constitution. These individuals serve life-long appointments once they are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate. Below are a list of some of the most controversial decisions in the last few decades by the Supreme Court.
