As expected, the Supreme Court won’t allow live broadcasting of next week’s oral arguments on the Affordable Care Act. Audio will be available at the end of each day (assuming the Court’s servers withstand the onslaught of requests). I probably don’t need to see footage of Clarence Thomas scowling for six hours, so this decision is probably for the best. And I expect the legal blogs will be replete with accounts from observers on which attorneys were sweating and which justices seemed to be particularly annoyed. For the legal community, the oral arguments are something akin to the Super Bowl, so expect to see lots of pre-game coverage across the web in the coming week. I’ll do my best to spare you from my pontificating until arguments are actually underway.
