The Supreme Court Breakfast Table

When Breakfast Table Morphs Into Midnight Snack

Dear Linda, Emily, and Walter:

This year's Breakfast Table has stretched on improbably past lunch, over dinner, and could surely go on through a hearty midnight snack. There's a good deal we haven't even touched on here this week and a good deal we'll wish we'd thought to write as we reread these decisions in the coming days. It's always an honor and a pleasure to have such expert (and speedy) guidance and insight in these last few days of the court's term.

Thank you for spending your week with us. See you at Judge Sotomayor's hearings next month.
