Supreme Court Sits for Group
Portrait

WASHINGTON
-- The nine Supreme Court justices looked less like some of the world's most intimidating
and powerful lawyers and more like a reunion of old schoolmates Friday as they
joked and gabbed their way through a class photo session.
The chummy atmosphere was for the justices' first group portrait in more than
nine years. They smiled and talked to one another while ignoring the whirring
cameras and bright lights as best they could.
The court required that anything the justices said during the session be off
the record. After three minutes, timed on a stopwatch, the photographers were ushered
out.
High court justices have sat for formal group portraits for nearly 140 years.
The pictures are traditionally taken every time a new member joins the court.
Since the court has had no new faces since Stephen Breyer
joined in 1994, the last cast picture was getting dated.
The justices are grayer than in that latest photo, and one or two are a little
thicker around the middle. In 1994, most were under 60. Now only one,
55-year-old Clarence Thomas, is under 60. John Paul
Stevens is the oldest at 83.
Breyer noted the court's bonhomie, and its staying
power, during a speech Thursday. Not since the 1830s, when the court had only
seven members, has one group of justices stayed together so long, Breyer told an audience at the American Enterprise Institute.
As the most junior justice of the nine, it's Breyer's
job to answer the door if an outsider interrupts one of the court's weekly,
private conferences.
"Apparently I still have a ways to go to learn how to do that," Breyer joked.
Breyer also speaks last when the justices discuss
cases.
"We know each other well. We get on well, we're personally friendly,"
Breyer said.
Although justices sometimes issue hot-blooded dissents when they disagree with
the outcome of a case, Breyer said their face-to-face
dealings are always cordial.
"I've never heard a word, a voice raised in anger" in nine years on
the court, Breyer said.
"I've never heard one member of the court suggest, even as a joke,
something slighting about another member."
An American institution lost an institution this week with the death of
85-year-old Edith Parks.
When Parks began answering telephones at the Supreme Court in 1960, she worked
one of those old-fashioned switchboards with plugs and lights. A red light
meant one of the justices wanted to place a call.
"We jumped at those lights first," Parks once said.
Parks died Thursday, after falling ill on her way to work at the Supreme
Court's much newer telephone switchboard.
In 1985, when Parks had been on the job 25 years, she was interviewed for the
court's internal newsletter. Her favorite story about a caller, she said,
involved a man who wanted to talk to Justice Hugo Black about one of the
court's rulings on school busing.
Black, a Roosevelt appointee, had died in 1971 at age 85.
"I told him the justice was dead but he wouldn't believe it," Parks
said. "I said, 'Well, you'd better call St. Peter.'"
A while later the man phoned back. He'd put in the call to St. Peter, the
caller said.
"'I couldn't talk to the justice. They said they were going to bus him
until they decide where to put him.'"
Parks retired for a few years, but came back to work part-time in 1997.
