Judicial Decisions | Crash Course Government and Politics

Learn about the factors that influence judicial decisions. The supreme court handed down some pretty big decisions on same-sex marriage (in Obergefell v. Hodges) and the Affordable Care Act (in King v. Burwell). It's important to remember that these decisions are not made in a vacuum, but influenced by the other branches of government, political affiliations, and past court decisions.
