Meade encounters the cleaning crew scraping stickers off the marble at the Wisconsin Capitol.
The supervisor, noting that Meade is recording, tells the worker to "stand quiet" and tells Meade he may photograph all he wants. At 0:28, we see the razor blade scraper in the worker's hand, and hear the supervisor say "Don't use that on the marble."
At 0:58, the supervisor pushes Meade. At 2:20, the supervisor expresses the theory that Meade "want[s] a confrontation" then admits that he put his hands on Meade, which might have been "a sin." Meade says, "I'm not talking about a sin. I'm talking about a tort." The supervisor tells Meade to "go away."
At 3:00, we see the use of fingernails to scrape off the stickers that have been moistened with something from a spray bottle that is referred to as "fresh water" (at 5:06) but produces foam. [Instapundit calls this scandal in a squirtbottle "Watergate."]
At 4:00: A middle-aged woman says to the supervisor: "They're filming that really well and that's what everybody in America thinks this is about — how much work it is to clean up after us." With narrowed eyes, she looks at Meade and nods a few times. We then see another woman who is photographing Meade. He asks her if she's a protester, and she says, "I'm a citizen," and Meade says, "So am I," an answer she seems to find quite unsatisfying.
At 5:28, there's some camaraderie between Meade and the worker who's doing the cleaning, and we learn some details about the difficulty of removing different kinds of tape from the "polished marble." "Scotch Tape is the worst."
8:46: Meade asks, "So, is it just water?" and the supervisor intervenes. Meade inquires whether they are doing anything that they think they should hide. Supervisor: "This is something that he does every day." Worker: "Only not in such great multitude."
9:34: Meade asks, "When did they catch on to the idea that they should use blue painter's tape?" Worker: "I'm not sure." Supervisor: "Just don't give him any comments... probably not the press, because he's no credentials, but just another one of the bloggers."

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 206 of 206I think science can tell us why Ann keeps Meade around. (sci american long version here)
Do I even need to ask what leftie blog is sending their monkeys over here to hurl feces?
I am amazed that anyone takes the time to attack Althouse & Meade or takes the time to defend them against the trolls! Hell, even Ann doesn't dignify the nasties with responses!
Whereas I will agree the entertainment value of this blog wears thin quickly the great thing about AA's lemmings er supporters is they do her bidding daily so she does not have to get her self-righteousness, hoity-toity godliness dirty ;).
Todd, as long as you keep payin' attention to AA's Chinese winger fire drill, she thanks you. And her tagalong isn't quite intelligent enough to be a smartass, but he does try doesn't he lol
apologies to the Chinese ...
Isn't free speech and democracy wonderful?h
I'm thinking of Bonfire of the Vanities, except that that's too exalted a title. Maybe, Campfire of the Morons.
The state should sue the unions involved in occupying the capitol for the costs of cleanup.

Notes are only copyrightable as notes, not as the final performance, unfortunately. To copyright, say a novel, you first need to write the novel, not just an outline and a sample chapter.
And notes to a ConLaw course would be entitled only to the thinnest of copyrights, because the scope of such a course: the significant Supreme Court cases and how they fit into the state of the law must be covered in any such course.
