Media clustering around Annie Laurie at her first appearance after the oral arguments. That bemused expression is because the first question she was asked was her age! (The reporter to the front right, with the red bag, is Adelle Banks, with Religious News Service. Annie Laurie and Adelle have talked on the phone for years, so it was fun to meet in person after all those years.)
