Supreme Court arguments
We're going to be in D.C. this weekend and are hoping to watch oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Monday. I know they have arguments at 10 a.m. (what appears to be a Medicaid-related case) and 11 a.m., and I'm familiar with the two lines. But does anyone have an idea of how early you need to be there to have a good chance at getting a seat? We'd like to try to get in the line for attending the entire argument at 10 a.m.

I once lined up two hours early for case and couldn't get in. Agree with Mike that the newsworthiness of the case involved makes a difference. Dress warmly - it gets COLD standing out there! (and we joked that we could have made a fortune if we brought coffee to sell to other people standing in line).
