Supreme Court Action

On the way to work this morning, we saw a guy in a white lab coat- and we thought he was probably on his way to the Supreme Court. On his way back home from his daily morning walk on the Mall, my husband took his usual route past the Capitol, and the North side of the Supreme Court. There he saw a few of the spectators, and protesters, and news folks. It's one thing to see these events on the news and on the Internet, but another to actually witness it. When we drove by the building on Sunday, there were already people lined up in their folding chairs, waiting in line for tickets to actually get in to the courtroom. We've only been inside the Supreme Court one time, but not when it was in session. We actually went over there for lunch one afternoon. I can only say that one of the reasons we like living where we do is because all these activities are very close by. But for others who work here and have to drive in and get around these sometimes very large and boisterous crowds, it can be unnerving. Luckily, we don't have to deal with that part of it.
Up bright and early in the morning

The activity begins

There are usually helicopters flying overhead

It's a great scene
