I pull up a chair right outside the door. When other media and lawyers start showing up, I stand next to the door. Then packs of lawyers arrive, maybe thirty in all, and they get in the courtroom since they are representing the numerous plaintiffs and defendants, including Al Gore and George W. Bush. We in the throng push closer. The bailiff yells at us to move back.
Nobody wants to.
He makes us. Suddenly, somehow, I am at the back of the line. I have been there all afternoon. They shut the door. They open the door and let a few more people inside.
