The Broken Bench: How Partisanship is Defining the Supreme Court

Abstract

This media awareness campaign explores the growing politicization of the United States Supreme Court and its impact on the public. Through the utilization of various mediums, these accumulated pieces seek to achieve an overarching goal: to educate the general public on the Court’s power and how this power has been taken advantage of. Recent Supreme Court decisions reveal an apparent shift toward conservative beliefs. Investigation of recent appointments and their ideological impact on legal precedent highlights the necessity for judicial neutrality in a democratic nation.
