Posted: 3/17/2008 9:52:19 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Another thread tonight made me want to go down and see how many people are camping out, in an attempt to get seats for the Heller arguments. Sorry for the shitty pictures Front of the line. These people apparently arrived yesterday afternoon. A guy with several "Guns Save Lives" plackards. I wonder if he'll be allowed to take them in. More of the line, with the Supreme Court building in the background Some people already getting to sleep. Others playing cards. Judging by the empty pizza boxes, you CAN get pizza delivered to the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court Already four media trucks. Everyone was very nicely behaved. I didn't see any security or police or anything. Just some reporters and cameramen (mostly sitting in their vans)

I think that's good and all, but is there a dress/hygiene code they have to follow? I know there is for regular court. Just curious, I've never been to the Supreme Court.

But yes, they do only get to sit for a short period of time and then a new group will get to sit.

But yes, they do only get to sit for a short period of time and then a new group will get to sit. Actually, I believe there are TWO lines set up in the morning. One if for people that actually get to sit there for the entire session (starts seating at 9:30 AM), and the other line is for people that just get to quiety shuffle through (starting at 10:00 AM) - and see a couple of minutes. The people camping out are there for the former.
