The United States Supreme Court

The interns and I went to hear a Supreme Court Case earlier this week. It was cool to see the Justices and the way they not only interacted with the Lawyers, but with each other. At one point, one of the Justices asked a question geared to slip up the lawyer and the Justice next to him gave him a punch in the arm saying, "Good One!" The case had something to do with filing taxes and a disagreement about 30 days or 60 days for the deadline. On both sides the Justices kept asking what the big deal was and why either side wounldn't bend. Was it a benefit to either of them? I guess we'll all have to wait and find out who won!


This is the famous spiral staircase

Very lovely angle.
