Coverage of a Texas bill that would grant a statewide court access card for lawyers, letting them skip security lines, spurred an interesting debate on Twitter yesterday, with at least 50 attorneys and judges weighing in.

House Bill 1359 by Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, initially proposed a system where all an attorney would need to do is flash his or her State Bar of Texas membership card to bypass security at any courthouse across the Lone Star State.
