The highest court in a given judicial system in the United States of America. Each state has it's own supreme court, as does the federal government (seated by 8 associate justices and one chief justice). They can choose which cases they wish to accept, can over-turn or alter the ruling of any inferior court, and can, in some cases, create constitutional law. Their main purpose is to defend the Constitution (of either their state or the federal government) and to interpret it's meaning in their rulings.

"A majority of people in Mississippi voted to legalize medical cannabis in the 2020 election, but the state Supreme Court declared the initiative unconstitutional."

A court of old men who believe that they are allowed to control other peoples bodies because they all lived through WWI. These ancient freaks may not look like much, but be careful not to upset them they might just take your rights away just cause they can. And be careful not to kill a bug near them, it’s murder, because they are, in fact, cells.
Woman: I need to get an abortion please, I was SAed
Doctor: yeah ummmm nah, we can’t do that, if you want to you can go to jail for 15 years for it!
Woman: but my abuser will only be in prison for 5, how is that fair
Doctor: because you’ll be killing a non-breathing and non-functioning (on its own) clump of cells… duh
Woman: *Flabbergasted* but…
Doctor: do I need to call the police
Supreme Court: if you’re old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. You may be 16 but that sucks we guess but your fault for wearing that skirt.

The term is a fallacy as it is neither supreme nor an actual court that is willing to uphold laws, unless it serves their heavily profitable agendas. This unit seems prone to spend time debating uteruses when they could be:
-championing prison reform by freeing people locked up for years for a plant, even in places where it is currently legal to do so.
-Cutting through the Gordian knot of those that profit off positions of power.
-Choosing to say out loud that corporations are not “persons…” since they seem to believe billion-dollar industries actually are people… true story.

Me: Did you watch the “Supreme Court?”
Everyone: No, sorry. I was at the met gala!
Them: Hey, I heard the Supreme Court made political donations an act of free speech! It seems Super pac’d!
Me: Throwing money at fanatics is certainly… common in history. How’s that working out?
