Recovered from Kazakhstan, it seems that the blog is the last thing to pick up. How fortunate that it is the First Monday of October and the Supreme Court’s session begins again. In honor of the Supreme Court’s 2010 term, CSPAN is highlighting the Court in “Surpeme Court Week.” The website offers a virtual tour of the Court, highlighted videos from the week, an interactive timeline of the Court including video clips and events, and more.
Also in the spirit of First Monday, you will find the American Constitution Society’s panel discussion of the 2010 term in preview is available here online and NPR has a great interactive Supreme Court site addressing major cases of the 2010 term.
Happy First Monday: “Oyez, Oyez, Oyez…God save the United States and this Honorable Court.”

I’m tired and don’t want to argue with embed code right now (perhaps tomorrow or when we’re home). If you would like to see some sights from Almaty, click here!
hmmm, the National Museum was cut out, bummer.

The brooms are everywhere. They remind me of a traditional peasant living in a village somewhere. We see them every morning as the shop keepers, construction workers, and home owners prepare their approaches for the day.
