Underscore the influence the Supreme Court has on public policy without having a single one of the justices elected by the people. Mention, moreover, that they are not representative of the general American public at large. Use this opportunity to question the constitutionality of judicial review. Should nine unelected justices, that serve life terms, have as much power as the legislative and executive branches combined?
