The '''Supreme Court of the United States''' (SCOTUS) is the highest court of the judiciary of the [[United States of America]].  Between 1800 and 1935, it met primarily in the basement of the United States [[Capitol]] building, then in the Old Senate Chamber, until it moved into its present location at One First Street NE, [[Washington, D.C.]]. Despite being considered a weak organization in its earlier years, it has become a powerhouse that has taken the lead on issues of social justice.

[[Alexander Hamilton]] originally described the federal judiciary as the "least dangerous branch," but the Supreme Court has grown in power that now rivals or even exceeds that of the other branches of government.
