It’s now the first Monday in October here at “the seat of government,” Washington, DC. Section 2 of Title 28 of the United States Code tells me that means the start of a new United States Supreme Court Term today.

And today the Justices play musical chairs, and officially assume their new seating arrangements. http://joshblogs.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/ot09-term-begins-scotus-plays-musical-chairs-new-bench-seating-arrangement-on-the-bench/

Josh,
That’s the same seating arrangement they took when they heard Citizen’s United on Sept. 9.
What’s with Sotomayor’s lobster napkin in the official portrait? The frilly doily look works okay on Ginsburg, because she is as dainty as a candy dish filled with those sort of chalky mints that your grandmother has that dissolve in your mouth without chewing, but it just doesn’t fit Sotomayor. Her individual portrait looks better. Perhaps she’ll appear on “What Not To Wear: SCOTUS edition.”

This will doublessly turn into an earworm and I’ll be singing it all day. Curse you Orin Kerr. On the other hand, it is funny as hell!

A link for Eugene (he probably doesn’t read this threads). Good news from our neighbors up north, eh?
