) Recently, there has been a lot of complaining about the length of time it takes for a court case to be heard. Citizens are yelling about the length of time it takes to have criminals put away, giving loved ones closure on their case. Some are also saying that the amount of time someone has to sit in jail before their case is hear can be considered cruel and unusual punishment, which is against the 8th amendment. Congress decides to add more federal court houses and judges. They hope that this will speed up the legal process and get people who are accused of a crime a trial quicker.
