Let's talk about the Federal Court System! Headlines focus on the actions (or inaction) of Congress and the president, but those are only two parts of the important trilogy that makes up the United States government.

This video was made in collaboration with the great folks at ForwardMT.

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.

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

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.

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

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? 😂

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.

Thank you for covering this!

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.

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