Street Law SCOTUS Day 4

Today we had a late start so we made plans to meet up withCousin Jennifer and her beautiful family.  Had hoped to get into Arlington National Cemetery to be with here for a visit to Uncle Steve's grave.  Couldn't manage the directions however so met up with them at Bandelero's.  great margaritas and Mexican tapas.  Had to cut out early for "session".  

Back with Street Law we did a jig saw on a few interesting cases, a couple I was familiar with.  Then we had guests to speak and respond to questions about The role of interest groups.  Very insightful.

Richard Katskee and Robin Conrad were very charismatic.  He had experience with Separation of Church and state issues while she represented the Chamber of Commerce.  Street Law has done a fantastic job representing varied interests and its amazing how congruent stories from these Dynamic Outside Resource People are. We had pizza for dinner as a group.  I will be fasting when we get back to Maine.  

We also had Lyle Denniston stop by to talk about the [changing] coverage of the press.  He was an absolute treasure that we could have listened to all night.  With 55 years covering the court, he knew everything to know.  He contributes to SCOTUSblog including many articles I have used in class.
