Full moon over Capitol


Long(er than usual) time in the cold

It took much longer than usual to be let inside -- I didn't get inside until well after 8 am.  So more than 3 hours in the cold. 

Best sign (IMHO) at SCOTUS argument

"Equal Rights for Dumbledore"

Front of the "bar" line -- 6 am-ish v. 7 am-ish -- EXTREME MAKEOVER

6 am



7 am  -- ossia "Extreme Makeover: Supreme Court!"





Just barely got in -- others weren't so lucky.

I got in the "bar" line about 5 am.  I initially was directed to the lawyers lounge (Room 111).  Nine people from the lawyers lounge got in to the argument.  I was number 8. 

A lot of actual bar members who stood in the cold for hours were not able to see the argument because of the *#@? paid line standers who were not members of the Supreme Court bar. 

In line before 5 am.

I'm number 76 in "bar line" -- more than half appear to be paid line standers.

Going to bed early to get up early

I will be going to be early so I can get up really early (how early?  not tellin'!) for tomorrow's gay marriage argument.  I will be posting pictures and observations tomorrow a.m.
 

Happy Passover!
