The U.S. Supreme Court has a history of continuing its business during periods of congressional turmoil.
via phone that the Supreme Court is different from the entire federal court system because it is the only court that is constitutionally identified.
"I would have absolutely no doubt that the Supreme Court would continue operations during a possible prospective shutdown, with the potential exception being if it was a really long shutdown," Gavoor said."Then, you might have some differing characteristics arising."that the entire federal court system is contemplated in the U.S. Constitution. Congress can add lower courts and personnel and so forth, and even change the number of justices in the U.S.
The vast majority of the Bill of Rights deals with the rights of criminal defendants and the power of the government over those criminal defendants that they seek to prosecute, he added. "All those rights need to be honored no matter whether the government shuts down or not," he said."You can't have a functioning democracy and a functioning court system within a functioning democracy that can shut down at the whim of Congress financially and thereby violate other portions of the Constitution.""Those rights apply equally to everybody, no matter what," Trocino said."They should scrupulously apply to the average Joe. Sometimes they aren't.
"So, the fact that people are looking at the criminal justice system more now that didn't really look at it before because Mr. Trump is being charged, I would hope that maybe they can understand that everybody needs to be treated in exactly the same way and no one should have special preference, regardless of their station in life."
