For questions from audience. I had a couple of questions weve received over the internet. For the last 15 minutes or so lets talk about kind where the Roberts Court is and where the Roberts Court is going. We 15 years of the Roberts Court. What do you guys think of the most significant decisions the court has issued during that time . Citizens united, the heller case, marriage. You are clearly ready for that one.
