It has been known as the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest federal court of the nation. SCOTUS was established pursuant to Article Three of the United States Constitution in 1789, it has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and state court cases, involving issues of federal law plus original jurisdiction over a small range of cases.
However, since Republicans took control of the US government, the court is moving towards an extremely conservative ideology.
