    They could just protest in front of the capital. No need to go inside and disrupt…Whatever the hell they are doing in there right now, but otherwise might be conducting government business.

      normally I would say your right and they would be more visible outside but if its specifically the house then no worry about them possibly conducting government business right now. Might delay a few failed votes for a speaker.
