The U.S. Supreme Court, composed of nine justices appointed  for life, has long shaped the legal and moral contours of American society. One of its most defining moments came in 1954, when it ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, overturning the longstanding precedent of Plessy v. Ferguson. This bold decision, made in the face of significant political and social pressure, marked a turning point in the civil rights movement.

More recently, the Court has issued rulings that defy easy ideological labels. In 2012, Chief Justice John Roberts surprised many by siding with liberal justices to uphold the core of the Affordable Care Act. In 2020, the Court ruled that federal law protects LGBTQ employees from workplace discrimination, with conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch authoring the opinion.

These moments remind us that ____________________________________. While justices may hold personal beliefs or be appointed by partisan leaders, their ultimate duty is to the Constitution and the rule of law—a duty that sometimes demands courage over conformity.
