What are some reasons this is fair, and some examples when it might not be? regina_mckee https://padlet.com/saniyahpattonamos/uncfr36eqqxfrv0s/wish/714923619 2020-09-02 14:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/saniyahpattonamos/uncfr36eqqxfrv0s/wish/714923619 Question #2 - In the Supreme Court, majority rules, even when a majority could only mean five out of nine.

Supreme court is the highest court and it is there for if there is a problem involving more than one state or if something has to do with federal law. Lawyers have 30 minutes to prepare an argument to defend their side whether it is the victims side or the defendants side. In conclusion, court is there to keep things in order and to help bring justice.
