Both NB and SB currently closed between 495 and 123. Lanes blocked at 123 and at the ramp from 495.
Justice Thomas asked a question today at oral argument. #SCOTUS Little know fact: Justice Thomas asks very good questions. It's true. @randersenjones and I collected all of them for @NwULRev a few years ago: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…. See for yourself!
