Pre-Lewising
This morning’s line started off slow, but by the time we got our placeholders, the line had deepened. A few pre-game thoughts before I make myself presentable for the Courtroom:
- Great regional diversity in line: DC, NYC, Chicago, Indianapolis, San Francisco, London via Detroit, and Philadelphia all represented–and that was just the among the first 15 or so.
- Got some great interviews, including the founder of the African-American Firefighters League of Chicago
- Hearing how the justices consider how to mete out “Equal Justice Under Law” in Lewis will be fascinating, given the 500-pound gorilla and pink elephant in the Court.
I will try to get my oral argument report up here this afternoon, but I have class from 1pm-5:30pm. Regardless, the argument report and the vox populi column will be up before the night is over. Thanks for reading!


Pictures make your efforts all the more compelling. Video would totally change the game. Keep IT rolling, Mr. Sacks
