It is So Ordered, produced by American Civic Forum, featured different people standing in front of a music stand and reading excerpts from notable Supreme Court decisions and dissents, with a bit of context and comedy provided by emcee Matt Kessen. I think it’s a great idea, and important, but I did not expect it to draw more than a modest group of exceptionally civic-minded people.

Instead, we sold out the majority of our shows and wound up getting the sixth extra “Encore” slot that goes to the show in each venue that sells the most tickets.

I read Sonia Sotomayor’s recent bad-ass dissent in Utah v. Strieff (PDF). It includes the line “No one can breathe in this atmosphere,” which gave me chills every time I read it. I’m very proud of this show and looking forward to more projects with American Civic Forum in the future.
