this is SO cool
This is SO cool..
reading a website on a bit of how the Supreme Court makes decisions, and they had a picture of where all the big decisions were made - It's on this page - first picture down Is there anyone else here besides me that thinks some of the greatest decisions made in the course of our country are based on what looks like a 9 handed poker table?

I know at district and state courts, many decisions are made by judges' clerks--or at least heavily influenced. (My brother is a lawyer and knows some clerks from law school...)
Perhaps the supreme court justices actually make their own decisions. |

it's just that idea in the back of my head where maybe once in a while the justices say "hell with precedent - one hand of 7 card stud and the winner gets to write the majority opinion however they want - LOL

My aunt, uncle, cousins, brother and I had an audience* w/ Clarence Thomas in his chambers circa 1992. Muwahaha that was cool.
*Is audience the proper term here? When I hear audience I think pope for some reason. |

That would be cool, especially if a disgruntled clerk put a webcam in the room! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

We went to the east coast for a trip and somehow he had arranged to meet CT. I was a freshman in HS and while I remember being there and seeing him, I don't remember one word of what was said there. Sorry, boring story. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Edit: yes we all watched porn lol!!1111 |
