+===== Number Of Justices =====
+The number of justices on the Supreme Court is not specified in the US Constitution. The number changed until Congress decided on nine in 1869.[([[https://www.history.com/news/supreme-court-justices-number-constitution|history]])]
+===== Qualifications =====
+The US Constitution makes no requirements for becoming a Supreme Court justice, therefore the president can nominate anybody, and the Senate cannot impose any requirements to limit who the president picks. The Senate need only disapprove or approve the president's choice.[([[https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-judicial-branch/|whitehouse]])]

+===== Joseph Story=====
+Joseph Story, 32, became the Supreme Court's youngest ever appointment in 1811. He is one of the most known constitutional academics in American history, as well as one of the best Supreme Court scholars.[([[https://www.thirteen.org/wnet/supremecourt/personality/robes_story.html|thirteen]])]
+===== Quill Pens =====
+The usage of quill pens is one of the Supreme Court's most lasting traditions. White quill pens are still put on the counsel tables each day while the Court is in session, just as they were in the Court's early days.[([[https://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/supreme_court_advocates_traditional_mementos|abajournal]])]
