WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is hearing with the audio available live to audiences around the world.
Monday was into the setup they settled on because of the coronavirus pandemic. After hearing Tuesday's case, the justices will have four scheduled days of argument and eight cases remaining.
The highest-profile cases are scheduled for next week. That's when the justices will hear cases including President Donald Trump’s bid to keep certain financial records private.
Here are some observations, trivia and analysis from our Supreme Court reporters (all times local):
8 a.m.
The Supreme Court's first day of arguments over the telephone with audio available live for the first time went off largely without a hitch.
On Tuesday, the justices will try to do it again with a second case.
Monday's glitches were minor. Justice Stephen Breyer’s line was briefly garbled. And when it was Justice Sonia Sotomayor's turn to ask a question, there was a long pause and Chief Justice John Roberts said her name a second time before her voice was heard. She said, “I’m sorry, chief,” before beginning her questioning.
One mild surprise came early in the arguments when Roberts passed the questioning to Justice Clarence Thomas, who once went 10 years between questions and has said he thinks his colleagues pepper lawyers with too many. But in this format, Thomas spoke up, asking questions of both lawyers in the case.
Monday's case was about whether the travel website Booking.com can trademark its name. Tuesday’s case is about free speech and whether certain organizations combating HIV/AIDS abroad have to denounce prostitution to get U.S. taxpayer money.
