Welcome to r/SupremeCourt!

#####RULES WIKI PAGE

This subreddit is for serious, high-quality discussion about the Supreme Court of the United States and U.S. law.

#General Rules:

#####Keep it civil.

Do not insult, name call, or condescend others.

Address the argument, not the person. Always assume good faith.

#####Polarized rhetoric and partisan bickering are not permitted.

This includes:

Emotional appeals using hyperbolic, divisive language
Blanket negative generalizations based on identity/belief

#####Comments must be legally substantiated.

Discussions are required to be in the context of the law. Policy based discussions should focus on the constitutionality of said policies, rather than the merits of the policy itself.

#####Comments must be on-topic and substantively contribute to the conversation.

Low effort content, including top-level jokes/memes, and content that doesn't contribute to the focus of the sub will be removed as the moderators see fit.

#####Meta discussion must be directed to the dedicated meta thread.

#####Don't downvote just because you disagree.

Vote based on whether the post or comment appears to meet the standards for quality that you expect from a discussion subreddit.

Comment scores are hidden for 4 hours after submission.
