Obama, Biden To Visit Supreme Court
President-elect Barack Obama will visit the Supreme Court tomorrow, according to his transition office, reports CBS News correspondent Steve Chaggaris.
At the invitation of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., Mr. Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden will pay a protocol visit to the Supreme Court of the United States Wednesday afternoon, the office says.
This will mark the third time in recent history a president-elect and vice resident-elect have visited the court. The last such visit was made by Bill Clinton and Al Gore on Dec. 8, 1992.
On Nov. 19, 1980, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush made the same visit.
Mr. Obama and Biden will visit with the justices in the ceremonial West Conference Room.
The visit is private; reporters and photographers will not be present.

There is a small contingency of Americans that get their only "news" from talk-radio. You can recognize them because they talk "bumper-sticker" English. No thought, no balance, no nuttin'', except the desire to be nasty in the fewest possible words. When I get curious about where some of this nonsense is coming from, all I have to do is tune in Rush and there it is. Stupidity served hot and fast. Talk radio is the fast food of journalism, not really food. :o)

Take Bush for instance -- his ineptitude is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqi non-combatants.
