If Supreme Court justices have never fallen asleep before, I'm amazed. Especially given the advanced age many of them are at. This is probably only on the news because Supreme Court Justices are so very hated by people with different political views.

Like I said in an earlier post, a Supreme Court Justice *should* stay awake during the proceedings; they do, however, have verbatim transcripts to look at later.

And isn't it worse when a juror falls asleep? Most of the trials I've been at involve murders, child molesters, corrupt cops, and other fairly major things, and at most of those trials at least one juror, and normally more than one, dozed off on one or more occasions. Juries do not get transcripts to look at because they are normally not ready until after the verdict is rendered.
