"The Republic endures and this is the symbol of its faith."
-- Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, in 1932, at the Cornerstone ceremony for the SCOTUS building. That's right, SCOTUS didn't have a roof to call its own until 1932.

The Supreme Court was set to first assemble on February 1, 1790 at the Merchants Exchange Building in New York City. It was postponed due to transportation issues. So, the first assembly of the Supreme court happened on Groundhog Day. I'm sure there's some kind of significance to that.
In the US, circuit courts were originally traveling courts. The judge and a group of lawyers would travel, sometimes by horseback, from town to town in the judge's jurisdiction to hear cases that had accumulated since their last stop at that point on the circuit. In settled areas, the mode of transportation might be stagecoach. During his lawyering days, Abraham Lincoln traveled the Illinois circuit.
What is the Rule of Law? It's not easy to define, though it's incapsulated by phrases like "A nation of laws, not men". The rights to be represented by a lawyer in court, to have a fair and speedy trial, to not be forced to make self-incriminating statements in court, and to be tried before a jury of one's peers are all part of the US Rule of Law, but don't completely encompass it.
In 1800, the entire Federal government moved from Philadelphia to Washington DC, including the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, no accommodations for SCOTUS had been built or planned. So, Congress lent the Court space in the new Capitol Building.
I once played a 9p micro with two millers. My one concern before the game started was that the way the millers interacted with each other's claim could wind up making them strong townreads to a majority of town. That's how it worked out in the game I played. Prism's confidence in his design was well-placed, though, and the two millers in this game did not extend much trust to each other. Which is probably more typical of a micro with 2 millers!
I really enjoyed helping out with this game, and love Prism's flavor. The return of the Southern Yellowjacket Queen was the pièce de résistance!
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
