The US Federal Court System: What Even ARE the Courts? 

Thanks Hank. As someone outside the US I'm sure this will be fascinating. A bit surprised that wasn't pitched as a second season of Crash Course Government and Politics.

I have actually always wondered this! thank you Complexly!

I can tell I'm gonna love the stuff you guys put here, I'm already loving this series!

Thank you for covering this!

-first- ...ok no but seriously I'm one of the first 25 people to see the first real video of a new Complexly channel? That feels like an actual, like, big deal and pretty big honor.

This channel is definitely one of my new favorites. Can’t wait to see what else gets uploaded!! DFTBA!

Thanks for the knowledge! Looking forward to more videos and playlists to come

Here from hanks channel. Excellent use of graphics and breaking down a complex topic in two small bites even within each video. my initial reaction was to click off of Hanks video because it sounded like a lot of effort to learn about it but the graphics kept my Millennial brain interested and the breakdown help to sync in a bit at a time. 👍👍

Hang on... So the branch that interprets the laws was the one with the most obscure description? 😂

thank u ,I'm from france and I have an oral for my high school diploma about the US Federal Court System

Honestly, I think this series needs to go on Crash Course so that more people see it. Or at least get plugged there and on vlogbrothers. It's hugely important.

Top-notch video Hank Green, my goodness gracious!

thank you so much i was so lost in my american civilisation lesson where i couldn't distinguish circuit courts from court of appeals and the federate court of appeals and you explained it very clearly ! tysm

This video is SO underrated dude!!!

I am excited for this new channel, and I love that you're going to be putting up random and interesting content like this. I feel like Complexly would be a cool place for the occasional How to Adult video even if the main channel had to go.

This was an excellent presentation.

The court system uses the same words teach in schools. The termolgy they use to intrap you same words, the school trains you. The termolgy is completely different > court room.

Why did no one watch this?!?! It’s so important!!!

Always thought it was pretty hilarious that the branch of government that was most ill-defined is the one that deals with the law, like the one thing expected to be clear.

The power to interpret the law is not a power given to the court by the Constitution. Its a power the court gave itself in Marbury v Madison. Article III is vague because the Court was supposed to respect the right to jury trials, which would inherently allow the People to develop the Court's power and role in government progressively while also ensuring that the People would have the exclusive power to interpret the law. Instead, the sitting justices of the Court committed treason and continue to commit treason by taking that power for themselves and denying the People the powers that rightfully belong to them until their abuses of power inevitably culminate into another civil war. The courts function is to determine if the evidence and verifiable facts presented prove that an individual violated the law.... the rest are powers stolen from the People.

🎵we love courts and we don't care who knows 🎵

Thank you! That helps a lot!

new to court life, and I need to know where do I go to get money, that I have in courts.

Ah the courts, the only thing barely keeping our democracy together these days.

There is actually a ceremony in our courts in America which is where Justices give you the closest thing too a title you can possibly come too in America and what they do is basically acknowledge you as a hero. I can’t remember what you’re called after that it’s like juducipierre or something like that but our courts are French and it’s from the French courts. And when happens is they acknowledge you for advent and treachery with the United States with Judicial history. And what happens is you are almost certainly on an adventure (you completely made it up by yourself) and you retrieve something of value from the world for the American People [We The People] doesn’t really matter what it is just that it was of value and you made advent and treachery and therefore treasure. Then you study and study and study (maybe; maybe you knew everything already but probably a lot of study) and prepare yourself and for yourself too deeply explain what happened and why it is impact. Then at the ceremony they tell you what the courts are and my entire point here is that takes like 22-28 minutes of straight talking; no questions no intermission no pauses. Then you tell them what you did. Then they tell you why that was impact. Then they acknowledge you with some kind of professional or doctorate identity because in America we don’t do titles. I don’t know what you’re gonna miss but you can maybe get it down too like 14 minutes for some type of intelligence scenario but 7 minutes is going up. It’s going up. It’s not secured by gravity and safety in sane people countries and on the ground and all in tact. But I’m still watching it.

That was great. Thanks!!

This was not what I thought it was at all I thought it was a seven minute video about why/what the courts actually are in composition with the origin of rights or something like that.

It’s amazing how few views hilariously biased videos get these days. Great channel Hank.

They got threatened when they were traveling and they passed a law about it. This led to the term law enforcement. And it is one of the only times in history ever where when the rulers were threatened they passed a law and it was not a derogatory statute or any kind of failure.

Note appeals court does not hear case over facts but over policy/law. They will not hear a case to decide if person A stabbed person B. But instead if the police properly obtained the knife from person A which was later, after DNA test was found to be covered in person B's blood.

That is a highly partisan issue and for good reason. What a court is is defined by your political ideology/dogma.

KNOW THIS: Every conceivable word that can be used to make a statement, has a different meaning depending upon who is saying it. Words mean quite a different thing when spoken by a common human being [the public] or someone in positions of power, authority, in politics, or who have been allowed to address the public. Recall , if you ever noticed in the first place, when asked to elaborate on the meaning of an issue during his impeachment hearings, Bill Clinton replied, "....it depends on what "is" is....." How's that for splitting hairs?

"Separation of Powers"? That's the 1st law that the lawyers break and nobody calls him out on him there in violation article 2 section 1.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT I'M THE RESEARCHER FOR THIS THAT WAS ME

Sir Dose the law is patentable ? thanks for all that info but basics matter :)

I need this lecture in written

What happens if you appeal the supreme courts decision?

Wait shouldn’t there be 9 judges in the Supreme Court and not 6??

What! Interpretation is no where to be mentioned

Which "federal court system" are you talking about? The constitutional Republic of America court system? or the United States federal court system?

Why isn't this on Crash Course? Why isn't Eons? Or all that other good stuff! I feel like continually dividing your audience must massively hurt views!? What is your idea behind making a new channel for each new thing, instead of doing something more like Extra Credits is doing, and having new shows within the same channel?

K so I've been a nerdfighter for at least 5 years can someone explain to me real quick how I never knew about this channel?

Government has not monitor HUD workers to see if their doing the right thing- hiring shotty workers. Though you' ve aready have had numerous complaints

i liked this

The Judicial system as long as you keep the crime out of my environment you doing a good job

Are you from crash course!?

Just gonna point out that not putting the number of the video in the series in the title, or even the description, is very annoying. Especially when autoplay turns back on and throws you into a different video instantly. And even more so if RU-vid just decides it wants to show you stupid auto-generated thumbnails instead of actually well designed and informative human made ones. Good series, though.

much slower thank crash course, thank you hank

....and!....Then?!.... and!...Now!... I think about Moto "G" "P"!....Why?!... I, I don't know!....?!....😃

Housing authority is breaking the law- planting mold and bed bugs in d8fferent tenants aptments. It's an attack on them and their children

Anyone who wants to know how deep the deception and deliberate confusion goes, just pick up a Black's Law Dictionary....but don't do it if your sanity is already teetering on the brink of a high bluff. Or, go to any law library and peruse the court rulings that fill up almost every square inch of space....which are only OPINIONS OF THE COURT, IE judgments handed down that qualify for the term, "making law from the bench" instead of relying on legislative enactments to make them Lawful instead of legal. ...See how much trouble one can get into on just these few words?

Military go bring us some resources to on our market mo money

These videos would be a LOT more better without those little jokes in the middle that really distract the listener. These are great videos and there is so much important substance in them. Please stop the jokes. its annoying.

Save your sanity: learn how to genuflect in obeisance to the powers that be, because they are smarter than most of us are.

Unworthy government workers should be removed with out a doubt. Especially those commenting sexual acts.

Government needs also to stay out of parents business ,

Quit using language so sloppily . Language is debased enough to cause the massive chaos that exists today. The first step to understanding anything anyone is saying or writing, it to be 'speaking' the same language at the get go.

What are the courts? Most of them are frauds and NOT Law Courts. Chancery and Equity courts are NOT bound by Law...but they hand out opinions. Well , we all have opinions, just like we all have an ass hole. The 'judges' are NOT bound by the Law of the wonderful constitution this fool cites as if it is still in effect.....BUT IS HAS NOT BEEN FOR AT LEAST 200 YEARS; it's been in suspension. This information is easy to find on the internet or the congressional record, but how many of you know how to access such books? How many of you know what a real Law is and what makes it a real Law? How many of you know how to use a Public Library? (about 1/10th of 1% ) How many of you know how to use a Law Library? (not even measurable.) How many of you know what you MUST know to live a comprehensible existence; or a sitting duck to the criminals in government.....? Is it any wonder that most of the resources on the Planet are held by the top 10% of the World Population? And YET, if I see or hear another damn fool mention America in the same sentence as the word democracy, I will SCREAM. And I just did.

Federal curropt courts of usa lol

Oh man this is so exciting! I think the Judicial branch is simultaneously the least responsive and the most transparent branch of government.

Thank you for clearly and succinctly spelling that out in a way that was easy to understand. Great job. :)

Someone always waits outside the bldging, or in the lobby as a look out. Yet housing authority brags about their state of the arts sirvalence cameras- through out their bldgings. While they make the tenants life hell. Plus they have the Osa security 💂 guards too cover up the crimes- and mock the tenants. Cause their either getting extra change- or puss their selves.
