The United States is supposed to have three co-equal branches of government. However, only 8.25% of the words in the Constitution deal with the judiciary branch. The Supreme Court that we know today has been created by the efforts of past Chief Justices, principally John Marshall, and the landmark 1803 Marbury vs. Madison decision. Gary Midkiff focuses on the history and political dalliances of the Court, including the 1857 Dred Scott decision, the 1896 Plessy vs. Ferguson decision, the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education, and the 2010 Citizens United decision.
