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?

Re: this is SO cool
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.

Re: this is SO cool
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

Re: this is SO cool
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.
