Mom would take us to the small deli there after shopping at Hecht Co. and Woodward and Lothrop downtown and get us a fried kosher hotdog on a poppy seed bun with a kosher pickle and a birch beer.
I think she just liked to flaunt herself walking around the stores after desegregation which came very late to those department stores, despite the law.
When it changed to a Metro subway stop (no more pissy pavillion), I found myself commuting though there once, and strolled away from the crowd I was with from the train who were waiting for the bus I took to work and got a doughnut and a coffee from the same deli and sauntered back and ate and drank the last of the two just as the bus pulled up. The looks!
Did that several more times over the next months, always to the same effect.

If so, from WHOM? Any 'rational' Court members?
...it's almost impossible to trust reports about what they're thinking, what Roberts is thinking, for instance.
I'd guess, no. At best I think the conservative majority (the political wing of the court) will try and muddle their effective abortion ban with some meaningless language.
I also don't believe these protests are focused so much on changing their minds, as they're directed at generating impetus for political action outside the court.
