The Capitol Steps : Voting 4 to 5

Welcome to Talking Justice Sign in | Join | Help

The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

Voting 4 to 5

The Roberts Court opens its third term this week. This term will likely be as contentious as the last, when a third of the Court's opinions were decided by 5-4 votes and conservative justices held the upper hand.
