The week of July 26 as captured by Roll Call’s photojournalists

It was a week for the history books on Capitol Hill.
Washingtonians said goodbye to former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who died July 16 at age 99. Many on the Hill smirked at Jon Stewart’s now-famous smirk and, of course, the nation mulled over the Robert S. Mueller III hearings in the House.
Here’s the entire week in photos:
