The Supreme Court
Speaking of juries, the ultimate jury in our land had to (obviously) be completely re-populated. Now, in the effort to assist the highest court in the land to interpret the constitution in the most informed and objective way, the Senate decided that it should, like all branches of government, be representative of the people it governs. With nine seats available, five are now filled by women, and five by people of color (overlapping is obviously allowed). There’s one gay judge, one judge under 35, and two with disabilities. Justices are appointed by the House, confirmed by the Senate and serve a term of 10 years. The Constitution has never looked so good. Ben Franklin would be beside himself with joy. You can almost hear the voice John Marshall in the room cheering, “Keep up the good work, everyone!” Carriage of justice has been phenomenal since.
