CBS) President-elect Barack Obama will visit the Supreme Court tomorrow, according to his transition office, reports CBS News correspondent Steve Chaggaris.

At the invitation of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., Mr. Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden will pay a protocol visit to the Supreme Court of the United States Wednesday afternoon, the office says.

This will mark the third time in recent history a president-elect and vice resident-elect have visited the court. The last such visit was made by Bill Clinton and Al Gore on Dec. 8, 1992.

On Nov. 19, 1980, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush made the same visit.

Mr. Obama and Biden will visit with the justices in the ceremonial West Conference Room where they will sign the same guest book signed by Clinton and Gore in 1992.

Following the signing of the guest book, the president-elect and vice President-elect will join the justices on a brief tour of the courtroom and the justices’ conference room, where the justices meet to to decide pending cases.

The visit is private; reporters and photographers will not be present.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/13/national/inauguration09/main4720001.shtml


Too bad no pics. I would love to see the inside of the court with Barack and Joe in it! Shrub and Cheney never went...they think they are above to law anyways.
