Geez, is it going to be doing this all weekend?

Well, in keeping with yesterday's good news, I have a different link.

“Running of the interns outside the Supreme Court 6/26/2015″

I had no idea this was a thing.

Ana was delighted with the news, Eva was just confused. I think she thought it was a done deal already? (Also, if you need to cleanse your palate after trying to wade through any of the dissenting opinions - and I suggest you don't read them unless you have a strong need of an emetic - you can read excerpts from the majority opinion here.)
