Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief! During a Friday evening event at the Tenth Circuit’s judicial conference, Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. said the court’s building will be open to the public on Oct. 3.

We’ve drawn some interesting tidbits from conversations with the chief and Justice Elena Kagan. Scroll down to read one commentator’s take on what the chief justice missed in his comments about the court’s legitimacy.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
