Did you ever wonder why no one (except constitutional lawyers) pays attention to the U.S. Supreme Court? Is it the lack of TV? Is it boring? Is it apathy? Is it hard to understand? Welcome to the website that puts the fun back into the Supreme Court.
The basic problem that all Americans have with the Supreme Court is simple - what the heck are the decisions about? The Supreme Court only takes the most important of the important cases in the land, but ordinary people don't often read Supreme Court decisions. The decisions are dense, often technical, rely on cases decided before we were born (but only occasionally before the Justices were born), and seem irrelevant to most "normal" people anyway.
But Supreme Court decisions have everything that a good story should have: winners, losers, villains, heros, and murderers - lots of murderers. The Supreme Court used to decide hundreds of cases a year - now its a measly 50-60 or so. Ah, but those 60 - there's more than enough to keep a poor lawyer-clarinetist busy.
