Welcome to The Marble Palace Blog. I am Tony Mauro, and have covered the Supreme Court since 1979, and for ALM since 2000. I retired in 2019, but in September 2021, I launched the blog. I swore not to write articles that begin with “The Supreme Court today ruled…” Instead, I focus on the court’s history and mysteries, its quirks and its clerks, among other topics. I welcome tips and comments at [email protected].
On Sept. 21, the Potomack Co. in Virginia will be auctioning two historic items: a lace that belonged to first lady Martha and President George Washington and a judicial collar worn by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before she died in 2020.
