The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court of the United States of America and it gives the final decision over all courts that present a point of either constitutional or federal law. The court was established in 1789.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
After the American Revolutionary War ended, the Supreme Court was first housed in the Old Royal Exchange in New York and conducted its first session there on 2 February 1790. Its time there was not long, moving to Philadelphia in 1791.[2]
In 2005, the Templars had plotted to have fellow Templar John Roberts' nominated to the Court, as far back as 2000, when Justice Antonin Scalia, another Templar puppet, convinced Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to vote with the conservative side in the case of Bush v. Gore. The Court's decision secured the election of George W. Bush as president. After O'Connor's resignation, Scalia passed on Robert's name to President Bush as a candidate to replace O'Connor. However, after the death of William Rehnquist, the Supreme Court had a new Chief Justice with Roberts.[3]
In 2010, the Court ruled against the limitations of corporate endorsements and donations to political campaigns. This decision itself allowed Abstergo Industries to choose their own elected official to both Congress and the presidency.[3]
