Binta Robinson is an attorney (Active Member of the DC Bar) located in Washington, DC. When she is not practicing law, Binta Robinson enjoys supporting Washington Nationals baseball. The Washington Nationals recently made baseball history, turning Major League Baseball’s (MLB) first ever 3-5-5 triple play and the franchise’s first triple play in any fashion. The play occurred in the bottom of the eighth inning, with the Nationals up 4-1 over the San Francisco Giants on the Giants’ home field. The three run lead began to look tenuous as the Giants loaded the bases with no outs. What followed will not soon be forgotten by Nationals fans and baseball enthusiasts the world over. Batting for the Giants, Brandon Crawford hit a sharp line drive to first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who had taken the field immediately before Crawford’s at bat for defensive purposes. Zimmerman made good on that call, catching the line drive for one out and immediately tagging first base, denoted by the number three on baseball’s positional numbering system. With two outs suddenly on the board, Zimmerman scanned the field and quickly saw that San Francisco’s Denard Span had not turned back to third base. Zimmerman made a casual toss across the diamond to third, denoted by the number five, for the easy out, ending the historic play. The Nationals went on to win the game. An attorney based in Washington, D.C., Binta Robinson received her juris doctor from the George Washington University Law School. Moreover, Binta Robinson has visited several countries, including Switzerland. Switzerland is known for its watches and chocolates, and the Alps. It is also known for its high quality of life, which it shares with a number of its European neighbors. However, this quintessential European country is neither a member of the European Union (EU) nor the European Economic Area (EEA). How is that possible when Switzerland is located at the center of Europe? The main explanation for the status quo is the way the Swiss government functions. Switzerland is the only European country whose people actually have a direct influence on government decisions. Hence, a voter majority has to ratify all new laws, especially those that involve the constitution. Regarding the country’s non-membership in the EEA, 50.3 percent of voters participating in the referendum decided on the matter in 1992 when they voted against membership. The holder of a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Spelman College, Binta Robinson is an attorney licensed in DC and an active member of the Bar of the District of Columbia.
