I don't know how many seats there are in Juan Merchan's courtroom, and I don't know how many GOPers took some of those seats. But what if you, TC, and Robert Hubbell, who I've already proposed this to, got a bunch of subscribers in and out of NYC, to go to that courtroom and take seats, preventing Trumpists from being able to be there? Yeah, it's a crazy idea, but I'd happily drive down... probably Sunday night, and get up bright and early the next morning to get to the courtroom.

That's a good idea!

So, if there are any of the TAFM readers on the east coast who want to go down to the court and stay overnight Sunday night/Monday morning (which is what it takes to maybe get a seat), I'll be very proud of any of you who do. I do wonder if the people in charge know in advance how many Trump Army types are coming and reserve seats for them - they come in with Trump through the back doors.

Thanks TC. It is a good idea. It took me a while to think of it.

Judge Merchan needs to find a way to keep anyone in the red tie uniform out of the courtroom, on the grounds that their presence is a form of jury intimidation. I suppose Bragg would need to make that request.

Doesn’t trump have reserved seating for his “friends”?

One would need to wear a mask to minimize the stench emanating from the amoral orange creature!

Cartoonist Liza Donnelly has been in the courtroom.She talks about, and draws, what it’s like including the process to get inside.
