Constitutional Law

Reader's experience at Heller

Reader Victoria Lloyd sends her impressions of the Heller Experience, pasted in extended remarks below. Her experience with the Marshalls is typical. A court-watcher in the line next to me (who'd done one of the amici for DC) told me that the present Clerk, who came in under Rehnquist, has worked hard to make the Court user-friendly. Over in the Bar line, the Clerk came out about 7 AM to explain things, where the restrooms were, how to hold a place in line, what would happen when we were inside, etc..

Incidentally, before the argument, Justice Thomas read an opinion. I was a little startled -- for a fellow who never asks a question during oral argument, he has an excellent, deep voice and good speaking style.
