I work in the civil service in DC, and some days when I walk from the subway to my office, I see people congregating in front of the Supreme Court.
I work in the civil service in DC, and some days when I walk from the subway to my office, I see people congregating in front of the Supreme Court.
Why do they gather? Is the court handing down a decision every time the people are there? What’s going on? On days when nobody gathers there, why don’t they?
Thanks!
