For the week, I am at a conference for history and government teachers. Yesterday, I didn't bring my laptop to the classroom, lest I be tempted to visit ponytail holders at this place when I should have been soaking up the learnin'. Had I been there with my laptop, I would have made the following twitter observations:
9:30 am
Regular people are in awe of movie stars. I am in awe of Supreme Court justices.
1:15 pm
Sitting for hours in an uncomfortable seat is not my strong suit. I think that I have contracted ADHD at the age of 40.
2:00 pm
Is the Supreme Court a modern version of Plato's Philosopher Kings? So far, that's my favorite question of the workshop. And it wasn't even my question.
2:15 pm
Loving James Madison right now. Totally going to rename JT. He's Madison Taylor from now on, but you may call him MT.
3:10 pm
Justiceable is my new favorite word.
4:15 pm
John Roberts is an awfully young man to be the Chief Justice. If he is anything like Scalia, this nation is screwed.

Is "justiceable" anything like "justifiable"? As in, "My crime was completely justiceable - the law that I was charged with breaking was ruled unconstitutional in a 5-4 decision."
