For lawyers who have dreamed of arguing before the Supreme Court, they will instead be part of an historic first. There will be no video component, a court spokeswoman confirms to CNN. However, the media will be allowed to listen in via a live audio feed, though there’s no word on whether the feed will be available to the public as well.
The Supreme Court is in new territory, having long refused to allow live audio of its court sessions and allowing only about 500 spectators in the room to listen to the arguments as they unfold.
