Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Supreme Court.

One advantage of the Supreme Court is that it is unelected, meaning that it can safely practice the law without being swayed by public opinion. Moreover, it provides checks and balances on executive power so that the president cannot become a dictator.  However, SCOTUS members are appointed by the president, meaning that he can nominate those who share his political views, leading to biased rulings. Also, the court has sometimes failed to protect human rights, most famously in Korematsu v United States, when they upheld FDR's executive order to imprison thousands of Japanese Americans in internment camps.
