Oral Arguments, with Context

About Oral Arguments, with Context

Real court arguments, crisp audio, with context. Court recordings can be difficult to follow, and many suffer from poor audio quality. This podcast enhances the audio, provides a brief introduction to each case, and explains legal concepts that may be unfamiliar to some listeners. We hope these enhancements make oral argument recordings easier to understand, more accessible, and more enjoyable to listen to. Recordings come from the courts' own public releases; Supreme Court timing is derived locally from the Court's official transcript and audio.

Published 26 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And it is not commandeering because we view this as basically a ministerial task. We are not asking for votes not to be counted. We are asking for them simply to be segregated as a judicial equity remedy rather than in sort of the commandeering cases where Congress passes a law that says state you must do X or Y. That sort of thing. This is a judicial remedy for a violation of law. And so that's why.
