Outside the United States District Court for the Northern District of California
I went over to the Heptig v. AT&T hearing this morning, but by the time I arrived, there were already 15 people in line outside the courtroom. None of us got seats.
On my way out of the Federal Building, I ran into a Federal Protective Service employee who had been working at the security checkpoint when I came in.
"You didn't get a seat, huh?" he said.
"Nope."
"Sometimes they move these things into the Ceremonial Courtroom when they know it's going to be a big thing. I guess Judge Walker didn't do that this time. This one is very important. Damn important. More people need to know about it than do. My opinion."
