feetsie puppies!

After the previous two nights the court will be a let down. The costumes are dull and they don't harmonize for crap. :blush:

Did Roberts do away with the bling?

Yes. That was a Renqhuist eccentricity.

TODAY I was in the Supreme Court! I'll tell you all about it if you want. Tired tonight.

Want Want Want Want Want Want
Want Want Want Want Want Want
Want Want Want Want Want Want
Want Want Want Want Want Want
Please :D

ditto

:)

ugh, you guys gotta give me some time to decompress, download my photos, and all that. Trust me, you'll hear. gotta do this thing now, you know, called work?

Just like a legal professional...big buildup, lots of press, then, bang! Ask for a continuance.

Here you can view (maybe--if it works) a web album of all my DC pics.

In the group photos in front of the Supreme Court, the lumpish thing with the hat is me.

starts out with a bunch of pics of my boss, his wife, and our clients at dinner, then moves on to breakfast at Eastern Market, the Library of Congress; then museum pics.

The Hirschorn--modern art-- (notice the pic that looks like a pierced torso_, then the Air & Space Museum, the National Treasures, (C3PO & R2D2!) the Postal Museum, and the Museum of the Native American.

Some pics of the snow--it snowed like HELL on Sunday--missed my play, then moves on to pictures of my niece, her husband, and my great nephews and niece. I didn't bring my camera to the symphony at Kennedy Center.

Finally, pics of the Supreme Court and said lump. And a few pics of my kitties there at the end.

Hey, great pics, Lee...and nice hat.

I see you have to stand in line to pay your ticket at the Supreme Court, just like at the Municipal Court downtown. You'd think they'd do it better at such a highfalutin' joint.

Looks like a real good trip!

We did not have to stand in line--those are for the public wanting to observe. There's one line for a 3-minute viewing, and one line to see the whole argument. Space is limited!

So tell us about being in court........... NOW! :D

gee, demanding babe.

It was really awesome, in the original sense of the word. Like a church, with wooden pews, red velvet drapes, ushers, rituals, and everything. A fairly small space, with a high bench. Senator Kennedy was there sponsoring someone to the bar. The justices sat, or slouched, and peppered the attorneys with questions. Each attorney only gets 30 minutes, and a tense 30 minutes it is.

Very intimidating, but I was so proud of my boss! He was well prepared, and composed. The attorney on the other side, from the Solicitor General's office (who wore formal morning coat, striped trousers, and ascot, as is traditional for government attorneys--even though she was a woman) was not as poised, and choked on a couple of the questions.

Re pictures, is that (#18) a needle in a haystack? :confused:
