10:17Now PlayingThe Supreme Court is supposed to be the guardian of the Constitution. But does it represent its people?
Americans don’t choose Supreme Court justices who are elected for life. They also can’t vote justices out. And yet the 9 SCOTUS justices make decisions that affect the lives of millions of Americans. Like whether 23 million people can keep their health insurance. Or whether to impose even more abortion restrictions.
“It's stacked with originalists who kind of are in the same mindset as our framers were 230 years ago,” says Meagan Hatcher-Mays, director of Democracy Policy at Indivisible.
So is the highest federal court in the U.S. unrepresentative of its people? And can something be done to fix it?
