Legal Quandary

Only in D.C.

I got an email a little while ago offering an easy opportunity to make $25.

Doing what, you ask?

Holding a place in line for someone to allow them to hear oral arguments before the Supreme Court tomorrow.

Why would anyone need a placeholder in line?

Because they will be giving commentary on the upcoming cases on one of the major news networks and might not be done in time to get a seat otherwise.

I'm not doing it because they want you there before 7am - and also because if I did, there's a good chance I wouldn't make it on time to my 9am class.

But still - that's not an email you get everyday.
