Are The Line Savers At The Supreme Court Bldg Being Paid With Taxpayers Money?......

I hear that there are people standing in line at the Supreme Court Building that are called line savers and they are being paid to hold spots for so called "important Senators and House Members" because these "Senators and House Members" are too important to stand in line themselves to witness this historic court drama unfolding on the Affordable Care Act.

I'm just wondering if we the taxpayers are picking up the tab for this?

$30/hour x approximately 72 hours = $2,160 for each seat held (of course the $$ goes to the company) hlthe2b Mar 2012 #2

and not the sucker standing in line.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if taxpayer money is going into this. How sad that the "people's" court of last refuge is going to the highest bidder BOTH inside and outside
