Obama and Biden to Visit Supreme Court

Today President-Elect Barack Obama and Vice President-Elect Joe Biden will be paying a pre-inaugural visit to the Supreme Court of the United States at the invitation of Chief Justice John Roberts. According to a transition team press release, today's meeting will mark the third time in recent history that a president-elect and vice president-elect have visited the court, with Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush having done so in 1980, and Bill Clinton and Al Gore doing so in 1992.

While the visit is ostensibly to give Obama and Biden an opportunity to meet the Justices' and to tour the court, it will also serve to make heads on the right and the left simultaneously explode as they read the words, "Following in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton..," while at the same time, raising the delusional hopes of the birth certificate conspirators who will no doubt see this as Roberts' chance to tell Obama that he won't be sworn in on Tuesday since he was really born in Kenya.
