At today's meeting there was much interest in the anticipated Supreme Court decision. Several member were on their iPads and iPhones checking for the latest news. It was almost a race to see who would break the story first. When I got home I found out that Wikipedia had already reported the Arizona immigration decision.
The big decision on healthcare will have to wait until Thursday. There is already a wikipedia page setup for the case, which I am sure will be updated as soon as the decision is announced. Isn't it great to read about breaking news in an Encyclopedia.
Correction:
With apologies to Norm, the correct answered to his question of how many Justices were nominated by a Democrat President is four, not two as I said. I did not count the two nominated by Clinton, Breyer and Ginsburg. Oddly, the two nominated by Obama, Sotomayor and Kagan, replace Justices appointed by Republicans. So there used to be only two Justices nominated by Democrats.
