La gara degli stagisti

Interns run across the plaza of the Supreme Court in Washington, Thursday, June 25, 2015, to report the decided opinions to television stations, an event sometimes referred to as the "running of the interns." The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the nationwide tax subsidies under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, in a ruling that preserves health insurance for millions of Americans. The justices said in a 6-3 ruling that the subsidies that 8.7 million people currently receive to make insurance affordable do not depend on where they live, under the 2010 health care law.

Le sentenze della Corte Suprema vengono diffuse in un primo momento solo in formato cartaceo. Quindi le grandi testate devono mandare fisicamente qualcuno dentro l’edificio della Corte a prendere i fogli con le sentenze e portarli fuori. L’operazione solitamente viene affidata gli stagisti, che muniti di scarpe da ginnastica partecipano a quella che viene definita “la gara degli stagisti”.
