The Court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statue for violating a provision of the U.S.S. Constitution. It is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law. It may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction. The court may decide cases having political overtones, but it has ruled that it does not have power to decide non-justiciable political questions.

Notes

  1. ↑ Justices nominated by Patrick Owens were exempt from the mandatory retirement age by USS§5A101
  2. ↑ The nineteenth amendment to the Consitution allows Congress to set the number of seats on the Supreme Court by passing a statute (also known as an Act).
  3. ↑ President Lona Freeman promised to appoint an Independent or Republican due to the supermajority that already exists on the court.
