High court open for business
Washington (CNN) - The U-S Supreme Court will not let a hurricane stop it from opening on time Monday, despite the early arrival of Hurricane Sandy to the Washington, DC area.
The court announced it will keep to its schedule of public sessions in the morning. Two important, hour-long oral arguments will be held in the courtroom– one dealing with a privacy challenge to the government's secret domestic surveillance program; and another over whether copyright protections extend to books and other "intellectual property" produced overseas and then sold in the U-S.

Good! It isn't hitting DC directly so it's some water and wind. Glad to see SOMEBODY in this country still has some toughness and doesn't let their world be ruled by some wind and rain. Their work is too important.
