| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Unbiased, your favorite source of unbiased news and legal analysis. |
| 0:06.9 | Welcome back to Unbiased Politics and to the Unbiased University education series. |
| 0:12.4 | This is episode nine of the Unbiased University series, and it also happens to be an episode |
| 0:16.8 | all about the Supreme Court of the United States. So over the last two weeks as part of this |
| 0:23.1 | Unbiased University series, I put out a three-part mini series where we talked about the three |
| 0:28.8 | branches of the federal government, so the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the |
| 0:33.1 | executive branch. And the reason that I'm giving you that context is because today's episode will |
| 0:37.9 | almost serve as an extension to the judicial branch episode. We covered the Supreme Court briefly |

| 1:26.3 | Then I'll cover the justices. So how many justices |
| 1:29.0 | sit on the bench? How are the justices selected and appointed? I also include a short biography |
| 1:34.2 | of each of the justices currently on the bench. I'll discuss the difference between the chief |
| 1:39.7 | justice and the rest of the justices, also known as the associate justices. I'll discuss the difference |
| 1:44.9 | between opinions and dissents, the various aspects of the court procedure, and a lot more. |
