Visiting the Supreme Court

The GW Student Chapter of the American Constitution Society (ACS) went to the U.S. Supreme Court last week to hear the case of Zivotofsky v. Kerry. Although the group arrived at the court by 5:30 am and stood in line for nearly four hours in order to secure their spots in the courtroom, it was worth the wait. "There is really no substitute for hearing one of the justices pose a hypothetical, and thinking about what you would respond with if you were arguing the case yourself," said ACS Student Chapter President David Seidel. "Especially knowing that the answer to such hypotheticals may be the very reason the Court goes one way or the other."
