Where The Supremes Get Their Gowns

Small town factory Oak Hall Caps and Gowns are anxiously awaiting Sonia Sotomayor's likely appointment to the Supreme Court - not for political reasons, but so they have a chance to make for her what some call the "Cadillac" of robes.

The Salem, VA factory is where many justices get their gowns. Oak Hall hand-makes about 2,000 of the special robes each year and its employees are hoping Sotomayor's ascension means another order.

"We are hoping to again see the initials SMS," Oak Hall Vice President Donna Bridges tells "Washington Unplugged," referring to long-time customer Sotomayor.
