Obama and Biden have a date with 'The Supremes"


The President-elect and the Vice President-elect have accepted a pre-inaugural invitation to visit The Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts extended the invitation which in the more recent history of Presidential inaugurations is becoming tradition.

Tis better to have been elected and invited than appointed and forego the need to be invited.

I just can't get the song 'Baby Love' out of my head. You gotta love The Supremes.

The court said Roberts, who will administer the oath of office to Obama next Tuesday, invited the pair to meet with him and the associate justices in the ceremonial West Conference Room, and maybe take a tour of the place. Reporters and photographers are not invited.

A meeting between the president and the court is something of a modern-day tradition. Ronald Reagan and his vice president, George H.W. Bush, visited with the justices before they took office in 1980, and Bill Clinton and Al Gore made the trip in 1992 (the famously late Clinton kept the justices waiting). In the wake of the court's 5 to 4 decision in Bush v. Gore that settled the 2000 presidential election, President Bush and Vice President Cheney did not visit before taking office. source: The Washington Post
