The Supreme Court of the United States is the judicial branch of the United States. Its members are not elected and have no term limits.
Decisions
In March 2022, after Abu Zabaydah was tortured in a CIA black site in Poland and waterboarded over 80 times, he sent a petition to the Supreme Court asking for the testimony of two psychologists who were at the site. The Supreme Court blocked the testimony, claiming it would reveal "state secrets," and sent Zabaydah to Guantánamo Bay concentration camp, where he remains today.[1]
In June 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing U.S. states to ban abortion. At least 55% of the U.S. population opposed this decision.[2] The Supreme Court has also threatened to ban gay marriage.[3]
