This week on SCW
For our newbies, welcome. To our die hard fans - to the extent you can have die hard fans after three editions - thanks for sticking around.

We'll be putting together two editions this week... a full episode with your favorite segments including a new Magic 8 Ball question and more Meet John Roberts. Look for that to be posted sometime Wednesday.

Later in the week we'll be putting together a special edition of Supreme Court Watch... Nominations 101. Do you listen to Adam, Kelly and Tim but miss some of the references? Join us for Nominations 101 and we'll back up and give the big picture on the process. Look for that in your podcatcher by Friday.
