Judicial Decisions: Crash Course Government #22

Episode 22 | 6m 59s

Dive into the factors that influence judicial decisions.

As you may have noticed, the Supreme Court recently handed down some pretty big decisions on same-sex marriage (in Obergefell v Hodges) and the Affordable Care Act (in King v. Burwell). Now, it's important to remember that these decisions are not made in a vacuum, but influenced by the other branches of government, political affiliations, and past court decisions.
