The USA is on a never-ending struggle to make decisions all because of the divided political views within the entire country. Still always conflicted no matter what just as it was 200 years ago when the Constitution was formed. Throughout this time though America has spread around the world influencing their beliefs from country to country.
The Supreme Courts' job is to keep the promise of equal justice under law. Although the judges in the Supreme Court are highly trained and held to such a high standard, they are still human beings at the end of the day dealing with human dilemmas all the time who are subjected to make mistakes. Not every decision can be perfect but 9 times out of 10 they try to make sure it is. In all of history, there have been almost over 100 Supreme Court justices many of which have been there for 16 years and some twice as long. This shows how they are all more than equipped to make tough decisions with the experience they have with the very very little wiggle room of error.
In my opinion, I feel that most people do not know how the Supreme Court truly works...
On average The Supreme Court obtains around 10,000 petitions a year and using the "Rule of Four" the Justices decide whether they will take the case or not. If half or four out of nine of the Justices feel the case has value they will subject a writ of certiorari. This is a very powerful message sent from the high court to the lower court demanding records of the case for them to review. For example, a case that the judges would feel truly has value would be a case involving the whole country or one that would have a huge impact. These judges are meant to take huge nation cases not small matter lower court ones. The Justices then do what is necessary for finding whether or not the law was broken.
I feel before judging, making decisions, or assuming things about our nation/political leaders people should have a better understanding of how the Supreme Court works. Making sure they understand how hard it is and the amount of weight these justices hold on their shoulders especially when their chance of impeachment is extremely high due to the insanely amount of chances there are to mess up in the slightest way. Personally, I could never do what they do, they're incredible people and they chose to do this. It takes a lot of guts to be known for making certain nation-changing decisions that can either help or hurt our country.
