Good Morning from the Supreme Court of the United States (June Photos II)

Just a few of the scenes from the last week of decisions at the U.S. Supreme Court. Previous pictures are here and here.

"I don't know if I am in the cave or out of the cave; I see these shadows."
Justice Anthony Kennedy referencing the scrim and Plato's cave

Jan Crawford of CBS and Melanie Alnwick of Fox5 DC have the right idea
for a scorching summer AM: bare feet and flip-flops.

Part of the public line. Anyone have some huge chess pieces?

there was a second table, as well. On the right (blue shirt) is Dan Stein,
gold medalist in the "Running of the Interns" and star of Vine.
Thanks to the whole team for keeping us so well informed
this week and throughout the Term.

Good Morning from the Supreme Court of the United States (June Photos I)

Here are a few photos from my visits to the U.S. Supreme Court for June opinion announcements. May pictures are here.

This makes a nice tweeting perch.

Twitter's mascot agrees.

The press has a room in the Court building and a seating section in the courtroom.

For fixing marble or making decisions at the Court, you need five.
(And six doesn't hurt.)

From this Court display, comes this Twitter favorite....

The male neck floof! (Worn by Chief Justice Hughes)

Where will the Court come out on same-sex marriage, affirmative action, and the Voting Rights Act?

I will be at the Court for all remaining opinion announcements, starting tomorrow. You can follow @AppellateDaily.

Good Morning from the Supreme Court of the United States (May Photos)

In May, I was at the U.S. Supreme Court for opinion announcements and will also be there in June. Each week is going to get more exciting, and I'll be commenting after each session via Twitter. Here are a few shots from SCOTUS in May. Look forward to bringing you the sights and sounds in June. See you on Monday.

No scrim on the "other" side of the Court

And that's a curtain for now. See you at SCOTUS on Monday!
