100 Words on the Term That Was, and Will Be

January 1st, 2013

Following the taxing conclusion of the 2012 Term, and a retreat to his “impregnable island fortress,” Chief Justice Roberts returns to anchor the Justices for a new year. All eyes turn to Justice Kennedy to augur his votes on same sex marriage, affirmative action, and voting rights. Yet, if NFIB taught us anything, don’t count the Chief’s broccoli till it fully grows in.

With that,  may I join the Chief in singing:

Should old acquaintances–with the taxing power–be forgot;

and never brought to mind–that means you Jan Crawford!

For auld lang syne.
