Whew!! Just got home from the lecture by Supreme Court Justice John Roberts!! And got to see HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!

After many trying Friday the 13th obstacles today, I finally made the trek of 160 some odd miles to Moscow, Idaho and back to hear him speak and I must say it was well worth the trip!!. I am a bit weary but I wanted to get it all out for you guys while it is fresh in my memory.
I had higher hopes that I would actually BE in the same room, but according to my friend -- who got there before me -- there had been a big long line of people waiting to get in at least 40 minutes or more beforehand! As many of you know I had intended to be able to record the event on video to try and put on youtube, but my friend couldn't find his and I was lacking one myself...so no video guys sorry! :-( But there was plenty of media there it seemed so maybe something will turn up.
Anyhow, I also thought I might be able to do a live feed with my laptop for you guys but that didn't work out either since I could not tap into the campus wireless network for some reason -- another bummer of the day...
Even though I couldn't really see much from where I sat on the floor in a separate room where they had a large screen to watch on, I found Justice Roberts to be a very eloquent speaker and rather enjoyed listening to him talk -- even if I DID disagree with him!
The event was meant to be part of the school's 100 year anniversary, so he centered it around Lincoln and William Wallace (for Wallace, Idaho) and actually had some fun stories to share (with his own little spin of course). The repeated theme for him was -- and I made sure to take good note of it -- that he views his job, not based on what is morally or ethically correct, BUT....by what the Constitution says and his personal interpretation of Congress' laws! CONGRESS!!!! He also believes in being impartial and said that lobbyists were people to be avoided (couldn't help but wonder about Obama there and who might be pulling strings).
After speaking for about 40 or 50 minutes, Roberts fielded several questions. Unfortunately I had too much stuff with me and it was difficult to get out of the room once you got in, so I was unable to get to a microphone (not that the microphones were working too well anyway lol) The first woman who got up -- and whom I just learned was indeed Orly Taitz See her story here -- actually asked my #1 question (as far as I could tell from when they finally fixed the mike) about why the Supreme Court had not held a hearing over Obama's birth certificate and I believe she had documents of some sort to bring before him (was very hard to hear what she was saying and then people started groaning when she said the name 'Hussein') Anyhow, he could not answer the question for her since it may be an upcoming case and she was requested to leave the documents with some of the staff outside. Sound like a possible hearing ANYONE??? ;-)
I'd say he probably took 5 or 6 questions altogether, but I got the gist of where he stands and I actually lingered long enough -- achy from sitting on the floor and trying to get UP off the floor while everyone else was climbing over me -- that he came into the room and surprised me and the few other people still there and he was very pleasant to everyone (just missed shaking his hand myself :-( oh well...I could've touched him if I wanted to since I WAS that close! Although the security guys with him probably wouldn't have liked it.)
Anyhow, I had a good time in spite of all the troubles I had today and knew I had to share the experience with you all here! Thinking of just going to bed and collapsing right now! lol

Here is a local news report on his visit http://www.krem.com/video/featured-index.html?nvid=341913
Nothing about Orly Taitz unfortunately :-(
