Hear the Oral Arguments Before SCOTUS

Did you know that, although cameras are not permitted in the US Supreme Court, the oral arguments are available the evening that they are made in audio on the C-Span site?

It is NOT a long process. Oral arguments before the SCOTUS rarely last more than an hour, and happen fewer than 90 times a year. Some are plainly boring – the one today was about the ability of AT&T to enforce arbitration clause in California. It should be available tonight, and the last one currently on the site is Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Judicial Proceeding, Nov 2, 2010.

C-Span is where you can find unfiltered information, and the actual words of opinion without intervening analysis – for those who want their drinks straight. On any subject before SCOTUS, you can hear the distilled arguments made by the best(sic) lawyers in the US.

C-SPAN is 100% privately funded by corporate donations and has never received a penny of government money — and Brian Lamb says he will resign the day a penny of government money arrives.
