dahlia mentioned supreme court papers. one issue here interested in is trying to force the court away from this ad hoc system of each justice deciding when and how and under what circumstances to make papers available and move instead to something more regularized like what you have in the presidential system now, which was put in place by legislation in 1978 to deem those papers property belonging to the public and not subject to the particular decision making of any particular justice when he or she leaves the court. and when you ask what access means to me, i want to respond in terms of extreme particularity. i wrote some statistics down. my wife's grandfather was a life long friend of justice douglas. we discovered when he passed away that he had a number of letters from douglas. we were trophy hunting, going through the papers and seeing the stuff. so i looked up online to see what i could find out about the papers of justice douglas and where they were. and, of course, you go to the supreme court website and they sen

the blog is our main source, other than dahlia's and tony's articles and they don't get a seat in the room. >> isn't that a circular argument? the blog has covered the court and made itself essential so the court has to let them in? >> yes. of course. it's the press. yes. >> i agree they're the press. but what form of access is it that -- what are you focused on? what access for the blog is it that you are focused on? >> adam, who i think is great and fantastic and is a supreme court reporter gets to hear oral arguments, the decision announcements, see justices doing this. he gets to see that firsthand in person. he was talking about this last friday. it's hard for him because he would rather be writing. but he wants to be in the room because that's the most important thing. the blog is not in the room. amy doesn't have the benefit of seeing it firsthand with the emotions attached. at this moment in time with all due respect to adam, i think the blog deserves a seat more than "the new york times" because they are trying to live blog it. >> isn't lyle in the room? lyle is in the room.
