An example:
"What really struck me as I stepped out of my cab at 9:15 a.m., for the Eldred argument scheduled for 10, was the line. What's with this line? This line that stretched down the marble steps of The Court and around the corner. This long undulating line to hear lawyers split hairs while black robed justices pummeled them from on high with sharp inquisition. This line that prompted my middle eastern cabbie to ask "What's going on here?"
Ohmygod, all these people are lined up because they care about copyright law!
That was a revelation. It struck me then that for at least a certain slice of this new generation copyright inspires passions akin to those once stirred in my Boomer peers by civil rights, the environment and Vietnam.
That realization, born in the shock of seeing that unexpected long line, was for me a more valuable lesson than any insights gleaned from the oral arguments themselves..."
