Ah, i see why you might have thought this is a placeholder, but it is
the name of the actual stream!

It appears to be down right now, probably because it's only running when
the Washington, DC court of appeals is in session in a particular
courtroom.  It may be worth retrying around 10:30am in
TZ=America/New_York.

If you'd rather have a static sample of the stream, i'm happy to provide
that but i'm not sure the best way to do so.  Should i run it and grab a
.pcap on the network interface?  or is there some other preferred way to
get a sample?
