Obama, Biden, to visit Supreme Court

I'm betting Souter is just coming down off a month long bender now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden plan to make a preinaugural visit to the Supreme Court.
The Obama transition team said the two will visit the court Wednesday afternoon at the invitation of Chief Justice John Roberts.

It's something of a tradition for incoming presidents and vice presidents to pay their respects to the court, though not all have made the trip. Bill Clinton and his vice president-elect, Al Gore, called on the court in December 1992, and Ronald Reagan and his vice president-elect, George H. W. Bush, visited in November 1980.
