In its Monday announcement, the Court continued with the tradition that if a court watcher or others wish to hear the Justices’ oral opinions, they must be present in the courtroom and hear it for themselves. This is due to the new policy that oral arguments shall not be live-streamed, even though rulings, dissents, and opinions may now be. In the newest announcement, The Court stated the following:
Patricia McCabe, Supreme Court Public Information Officer, made a statement on behalf of the Court on Monday, December 12: “For the remainder of this Term, the Court will resume its traditional practice of announcing merits opinions in open Court. Consistent with past practice, the live audio feed will be limited to oral arguments, and the audio of opinion releases will be recorded and available from the National Archives at the beginning of the next Term.”
