This reporting is pretty shoddy. Are they just disallowing Tea Party protesters, or have the Capitol police closed entrances to anyone trying to enter. And, there are fire concerns here. Even the Capitol building has a fire-rated capacity, and they do count everyone that leaves and enters.

This could be much ado about nothing.

Yours is the only voice of reason on this thread. Most people posting here must have never set foot in Rayburn, Cannon, or Longworth, because you’ll be damned if you think 30,000 people can fit in the halls of those office buildings, and you’ll be damned if the Capitol Police is going to create that kind of fire hazard.
