Am I on trial? "My side" of it is that ever since I asked the Justice League to monitor my performance and make sure I was fit for duty, you've been doing it-- Including all the time since I was supposedly certified fit! No! I am always on trial, and I'm sick of it! Yes, I've been riding Green Arrow and Flash! Oliver Queen is a loud-mouthed know-it-all, and Barry Allen is a closet male chauvinist!

Justice League of America #143 is an issue of the series Justice League of America (Volume 1) with a cover date of June, 1977.
Synopsis for "A Tale of Two Satellites!"
A series of minor conflicts between Wonder Woman and other members of the Justice League comes to a head when the Amazon Princess quits the team in a huff. While the other heroes continue to argue over her departure, and almost disband the team as a result, she encounters the Privateer, a new costumed hero who is actually Mark Shaw, the former Manhunter.
When the two inexplicably come to blows following an encounter with Batman's foes Scarecrow and Poison Ivy, the Privateer realizes that something is amiss, and contacts the Justice League for help.
Meanwhile, it is revealed that Wonder Woman's mind is controlled by the Construct, now reborn as Construct II after his defeat by the Atom, and this enemy is behind a reorganization of the Injustice Gang. Wonder Woman battles Superman for control of the JLA satellite, while the Construct sends a mesmerized Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Mirror Master, Chronos, and Tattooed Man against the other JLA members.
Reaffirming their team spirit, the heroes join forces again to defeat the Injustice Gang, and Wonder Woman is freed from the Construct's control.

Notes
- The series of minor conflicts involving Wonder Woman and various members of the League began in Justice League of America #139 in the story entitled "The Ice Age Cometh!", Steve Englehart's first outing as scribe for the magazine.
- Editor Julie Schwartz incorrectly states that Libra, the original leader of the Injustice Gang, died in his and the Injustice Gang's first appearance in Justice League of America #111. In actuality, he was imbued with more power than his intellect could contain, dispersing his consciousness throughout the galaxy. Libra would return as a living and reintegrated being in Final Crisis many years later.
- The Construct is spontaneously reborn in this issue, contrary to the guarantee made by his arch-enemy Willow at the end of last issue. However, the reincarnation of the Construct, referred to as Construct-II, has no clear memories of his past existence, other than his overriding impulse to get revenge on the Justice League due to his prior defeat by the Atom.
