Kagan appeared Tuesday in a conversation with Ted Widmer, a historian and librarian at Brown University. The event was part of a celebration of the 350th anniversary of Rhode Island's colonial charter and was hosted by Gov. Lincoln Chafee and sponsored by Roger Williams University School of Law.
When asked whether the justices email each other, Kagan said ... justices write memos, which are then printed on ivory paper. The memos are then walked around the building by someone called a "chambers aide."
"The justices are not necessarily the most technologically sophisticated people," she said, adding that while clerks email each other, "The court hasn't really 'gotten to' email."

I don't think Roberts would allow it.

Maybe we should shuffle some of these fogies into an early retirement.

There are reports that when they ruled on the case of whether violent video games can be sold to minors, that the justices may have played some Resident Evil and Medal of Honor games.

First instant replay in baseball and now this?
What's next - people too fat and lazy to actually walk into a MacDonald's and using the drive-thru?
