The Gambit Fails — C.J. Holds the Line

The portable Supreme Court steps podium is the physical and symbolic platform of this exchange. C.J. walks behind it at the end of the beat, gathers a stack of papers from its surface, and uses it as a professional shield and staging area to move away from the press after the verbal sparring.

Before: Set at the top of the steps with a mounted gooseneck microphone and loose papers on the shelf; available as the press's focal point.

After: C.J. stands briefly behind it holding a bunch of papers, having used it to compose herself before walking away; no visible damage or change to the podium.
