it would make so much sense. They wouldn't be blocking traffic. It's still on the MAX (light rail) line within a short walking distance. And there are public restrooms.

I don't understand this fixation on the Federal Courthouse. It's playing into Trump's narrative. If we could just move a little further away, there would be NO reason for the goon squad there except to violate our rights to peacefully protest. And honestly I think the protest crowd size would grow immensely (I'd be there in a heartbeat!).
