Setbacks

Well, we're not allowed to take bags or computers into the room to watch, which will limit my coverage of the arguments.  I can take in a notebook and pen, so I'll record some observations old-school style.

Also, because the Court is hearing only civil cases today, my professor "the Judge" doesn't think letting us hear the arguments is important enough to cancel (or even allow excused absences from) his Criminal Procedure class today, even though most of us have never seen a state Supreme Court case before.  So I'll be getting there late in the first case, if there's a seat left.
