Is lenin the same guy as trotsky (i'm confused)?

No.

For one, they have different birthdays.

Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky were both revolutionary leaders in Russia who articulated different visions of what revolutionary Russia should look like.

Trotsky was eventually murdered with an ice pick to his head in Mexico City.

the supreme court plays a big role in government. the constitution gives them ability to check the president and the congresses actions and dictate if their actions are allowed by the constitution or not.

hope this .
