Lawyering Up: Week 7, Wed, Period 2 (2/20)

"In honor of Monday's holiday," Nathan said as he passed around handouts, "this week we're focusing on Constitutional Law. Of course we've touched on it a lot already, but with regards to how it affects our lives now. Let's take a trip back in time - uh, not literally - to talk about the people who sat down and created this document in the first place. The founding fathers. And so help me if any of you American students don't know which of the presidents honored on Monday was a founding father." Nathan gave the class a look just to make sure that was clear.

"Today we like to hold up the founding fathers as paragons of democracy," Nathan continued. "Flawless individuals who did nothing but say well-crafted statements on liberty, and occasionally allowed their wives to sew flags. But you'll find that they were human, just like u - well, just like most of us." Nathan cleared his throat, looking apologetic for any offense that might have caused.

"So let's get to know them. Intimately." Nathan pointed out the last piece of the packet. "Who Wants to Marry a Founding Father? Or mother, if your tastes run that way. Answer the questions, get your result, tell us all a little something about your new spouse."

Nathan grinned. "Personally I'm curious to see if any of you end up with the guy with one leg who couldn't shut up if you paid him. Good luck!"

Lucas appeared to listen to the lecture and take notes. In reality, he was writing a letter home.

Lana took copious notes. And really hoped Chris hadn't listened to the radio last night.

Notes, notes, notes. Turtle took notes, good ones. At least, they tried to be. It seems that, a few times, she got distracted with little digressions wondering about whether any of the founding fathers were avid or successful moose hunters.

While also sending an accusing glare across the room toward Meg, for the fact that she was totally to blame for the fact that a small circle of pink glitter seemed to surround Turtle, only growing a little more every time she moved anything from her bag.

Jack took notes. He was sitting as far from Annette as he could. He was not spending class time staring daggers at her.

"I got Alexander Hamilton," Meg said with a frown. "Great, I ended up with the guy who got himself killed in a duel."

"I'm the next Mrs. Richard Spaight of North Carolina," Lucas shook his head. "Apparently I'll be a widow very soon. But at least he's from the right state."

"I'm the new Mrs. Nicholas Gilman of New Hampshire," Lana said with a smile.


Especially funny since the mun is *from* NH.

"Oooh, John Lansing. He's such a hunk..."

Please ignore the gagging and the insane swell of homestate pride welling up in the dorky mun.

Finally deciding to break out Jake's lawyer joke ammo (she had to admit she didn't like a lot of them because they were mean-spirited), Turtle raised her hand. "Mister Petrelli!" she said, raising her hand. "What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 12?"

Sam was there, happily going through the packet and highlighting things.

Hey look, sometimes a little brother could come by when a class was done. Though he looked to see if Sam was there as much as Nathan.
