I just saw this on my news feed (its on the comments on that page)

"I'm an atty here with a copy of the order and still being denied access. At the door with order and denied access...they say one in one out but will not say what number are available for trade or how they are determining who is here for free speech vs actual business...those are quotes"


Anyone know anything more about this? What's the word on the street?

1. Well, looks cleared up?

I'm still not sure, I guess I trust posters at DU more than ones on Facebook.

2. Walker wants to keep it locked because he is giving speech at 4pm.

A judge has ordered it open and he has filed an appeal. As of now I think its still locked per John Nichols on the Ed show.

3. Just read a report that Scott Freakin Jensen strolled right on in..

...like he still owned the place.

Otherwise, they are only letting one protestor in for every one who leaves. Rumor has it that the balcony in the room where Hosni Walker will be speaking is already full with teabaggers (no doubt bussed in by Koch and snuck in through the tunnel from DHS).

4. somebody yelled "Scott Jensen should be barred from the capitol"

as he strolled by

5. Heard a new one

Apparently, the teabaggers stayed overnight at the Concourse (where their buses are parked) and came in via a steam tunnel to the Capitol.

Don't know if that's true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised after the last two weeks' events...

9. Public Safety Numbers are Limited inside the Capitol

"Visitors without appointments can also enter at the King Street entrance, but may need to line up outside to be admitted on a one-to-one basis as other visitors leave the facility. These procedures are intended to keep the total number of Capitol visitors at a level that will allow state government to continue in a safe and secure environment."

If limiting access for the "safe and secure environment" was the plan, why are we allowed on the Capitol grounds at all, or even in the same city? In that ideal all opposing opinions would not be allowed to even know the other existed - which I suppose is how the Republicans want it to be.

Precisely what is the crime rate inside the Capitol? I mean aside from graft, how many muggings are we talking about?

I spent the night in the Capitol - with beefy deputy patrolling the "no mans land" between my family and another small group of about six 4th graders and their parents. Seriously what harm was being mitigated?

State Government could work is a really safe and secure environment by blocking Walker's shenanigans so we do not have to show up en masse to rectify the situation. get the DOA on that one.

10. My son got in yesterday (Wednesday)

Donna Seidel's aide came and got him. Then they were going to let my son Kevin in and make Donna's aide stay outside. I guess they both did manage to get in. This is so insulting to let the Tea Baggers in at will. Walker sure is running scared.
