From Lambda Legal:

"For more than two centuries, America's courts have been charged with administering justice, protecting the rights and liberties of citizens, and deepening our understanding of the U.S. Constitution so that all Americans have equal access to the rights outlined in that historic document. Sometimes our courts have served this mission well, and sometimes not. But our country's founders believed so strongly that an independent and impartial judicial system was critical to the success of our flourishing democracy that they enshrined the federal judicial branch in Article III of the U.S. Constitution."
