The crowd that got in was mixed with lawyer larvae there mostly because it was a big case and pro-gunners. It was funny that almost every media person who covered us during the evening was going down the line trying to find someone who supported the ban. They had no luck that I could see. We later found out that more than a few in line were paid to hold spots. Someone apparently got as much as $220. I'm sorry to not have known that Bitter was outside. I'd liked to have met her.

I’m sorry to not have known that Bitter was outside. I’d liked to have met her.

He told me he was a member of the SC Bar and although retired, he still got to attend oral arguments. However, they have to sit in a "listening room" away from chambers. Still, they get to hear the arguments in real time. He said that "Dellinger was brilliant." But when I listened to the arguments later, Dellinger did not sound so good. He stammered and used run-together sentences to try to get back on track after being side-tracked by several questions from the Justices. I thought he did poorly. Gura did very well, although he sounded nervous and started out speaking so fast that Scalia interrupted to ask him to slow down. These oral arguments weren't so much lectures as grilling sessions. Hard to prepare for them. The SG sounded like a young whippersnapper!
