Supreme Court of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the judicial branch of the United States federal government. |
 | | The court consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, who are nominated by the President and confirmed with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. |
 | | Thus, for example, the Court between 1969 and 1986 is referred to as the "Burger Court" (for Chief Justice Warren E. Burger) and the Court between 1986 and 2005 is referred to as the "Rehnquist Court" (for Chief Justice William Rehnquist). |
