Wow, just wow



Where was I on this historic day?

At Ben's 7 year doctor appointment waiting.

Ben: "Mom, why are you screaming and crying?  Are you ok?"

Mom: "Let me give you a big, big hug and tell you that one day I hope you marry the person you really love. I'll love them as much as I love you."

From Justice Ginsburg at our parting reception Monday night during her speech to the 2013 Georgetown Law School Supreme Court Institute, "discrimination is wrong, but legal discrimination begs for remedy. The role of the Court is to speak when the voice of the minority is being suppressed."

I cannot believe that I was party to the last days of this historic week in the Court.  Truly a chance in a lifetime opportunity to be not just watching history, but standing in the center.

Okay, best line ever: "Let me give you a big, big hug and tell you that one day I hope you marry the person you really love. I'll love them as much as I love you."

Second only to: "discrimination is wrong, but legal discrimination begs for remedy. The role of the Court is to speak when the voice of the minority is being suppressed."

Pretty amazing stuff. So glad you were here!
