This is one of those "Trump doesn't want you to believe your own eyes" times. It's easy to visit the area around the courthouse. The park is open and accessible. The police officers are friendly, maybe a tad bored. A woman was walking her dog when I arrived this morning.
This should go without saying, but if "thousands" of people were turned away, it would be a huge news story. On the contrary, I heard reporters outside the courthouse expressing surprise that they hadn't seen a single Trump fan milling about today

@brianstelter You didn't walk down there and check, that would be too much exercise.
@brianstelter It's a court. They would put republican protestors in jail for parading. It's not worth the risk.
@brianstelter Seems like a nice place for some peace and quiet. Maybe do some reading.
@brianstelter Yup. nope, tons of attention from all the right people.
