From "War Wounds: A Father and Son Return to Viet.I'm not sure why, but this photo evoked a powerful.I just informed the English Department I won't be.The same Aunty who did a convincing rat impersonation mimicked what happened to her when she tried to use the elevator today and ended up wrapped in shrinkwrap on the fourth floor. One guy complained about the elevators but I didn't know what he was talking about-apparently there's some painting going on throughout Cook today and all the elevator doors are covered with taped-down plastic sheeting above the second floor-and you can't tell until you're in there and ready to get off. So I let some dudes use the copier in the office and charged them the standard 10 cents a page but couldn't make change for them and it was a mess. Also, the CopicoCard machine and the change machines are gone.

So we actually had some patrons today, and they all wanted to make copies, and the Library has sent all its copiers away to be serviced (or, hopefully, replaced).

Will advocates take advantage of the two-minute grace period? Or will they waive it in favor of jumping right into the justices’ questions? And is anyone taking bets on whether (or how long) these listening moments will survive at SCOTUS? I am interested to hear our blog readers thoughts regarding this change. The SCOTUS blog includes a comical play-by-play detailing how the new quiet time worked on its first day out of the gate. Yet as soon as the white light on the lectern illuminated, all bets were off. This unexpected change in Supreme Court preferences left the oral argument advocates for the following week scrambling to prepare their two-minute elevator speeches.Īnd on Monday, the Supreme Court justices dutifully followed their newly announced policy, patiently listening for the allotted time as the advocates sought to master the new oral argument rhythm.
