Line by proxy

When I first read that people were already in line to hear the Supreme Court oral argument about same sex marriage, I thought that some hardcore law fans were camped outside the Supreme Court.  However, as the New York Times makes clear, at least some of the people in line are not interested in the case.  Intead, those folks are proxies hired by companies that pay people to stand in line.  Mr. Torvik and I have missed out on yet another business opportunity.
