SUE 'EM!!!!! ... You're going to love this. I make a point of chatting with the guards as I enter the Superior Court building, just so they know to expect a smile, and maybe a joke, or two. That way, they relax and realize you are not a threat to anybody. On the way to the Court library today (a beautiful library, tucked away on the second floor), I decided to stop and ask the security guards, at the metal detector, what the rules are about armed body guards. THAT got their attention, like never before. The one woman kept repeating herself, "No, sir, you can't come in here with a gun." I told her I understood that, but she kept on repeating herself anyway. When I had a chance to speak again, I asked her what my private body guards should do with their guns. [was "so with"] "Oh, just tell them to leave the guns in their cars, down in the parking basement," she answered. "Okay," I said, "but what are they going to do between their cars, and here?" Now, THAT question really stumped her. The one male guard kept nodding his head, and when he saw that she was rendered speechless by this question, he simply advised me to write the Presiding Judge for permission to bring their guns up to the front door, and put them in the gun lock mounted on the wall, "Over there," he said, as he pointed at the wall, just inside the entrance. Then, the woman guard said, "No, sir, you can't bring your guns into here! I'm going to bring this matter up with the Probation Officer in charge." Well, the story had a happy ending. On the way out, she stopped me and took long enough to tell me, in a very friendly manner, that she had put this question to her supervisor, and he said to tell me that the Presiding Judge would NEVER allow the private body guards to walk up to the front door armed, BUT, the Sheriff's Office would provide a police escort from the basement garage, to the front door of Superior Court. Now, I can't wait to see if that really happens. What about you? ... The plot thickens. Meanwhile, on the judicial front, today the Justice of the Peace put off the jury trial in Mitchell v. Nordbrock for 4 months, writing a cryptic, mostly unintelligible order which was filled with Greek symbols, after receiving Mitchell's formal challenge to the voter and juror qualification statutes (must be federal citizens). [was "citiens"] This is becoming a Keystone Comedy of Errata. Stay tuned. The Fat Lady does sing some time tonight (or is it tomorrow morning, early?)
