Up and moving

Kevin Martin was 7th person in lawyer line; arrived at 4:45 am. I dropped off Bob D. at 5:30 am. Hardy should have arrived about 5:30 am.

The lawyers' line may still get you in. HOWEVER, remember, it's not for all lawyers. The special entrance is only for members of the Supreme Court Bar. So, don't arrive with your D.C. Bar membership card and expect to get in through that door.

I wrote a footnote that made into a Supreme Court brief. Once.

I only got into the Supreme Court once. On a tour with my son. Good luck David, and God Bless.

History in the making.

It must be exciting to be there, whether you get in or not.

Good luck!

I am eager to hear a review of Mr. Gura's performance. While I understand he has a specific case to win, I'm not sure I am comfortable with some of the "bigger picture" positions he is taking in argument.

This was rich:

MR. DELLINGER: What is reasonable about a total ban on possession is that it's a ban only an the possession of one kind of weapon, of handguns, that's been considered especially -- especially dangerous. The
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: So if you have a law that prohibits the possession of books, it's all right
if you allow the possession of newspapers?

I've downloaded but have not yet had time to read the entire transcript - I'll read it tonight. But I skimmed the blogging at SCOTUS Blog. A couple of the comments and questions - primarily those from Breyer - made me want to wrap my head with duct tape to prevent it from exploding. Does anyone doubt Breyer is a far, far left libbie? I'm thinking he's farther left than Ginsburg. Some of the statements I read coming from him seemed snarky and predisposed to being anti-gun rights. Now Scalia, on the other hand - there's a guy who understands the Second Amendment.

Wish I had more spare time to read everything involved in this case...
