Supreme Court, for first time since 1918, postpones oral arguments
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court announced Monday it is postponing oral arguments scheduled for later this month due to the coronavirus, something it has not done in more than 100 years.
The court already had closed its doors to the public last Thursday until further notice "out of an abundance of caution."
The justices had several major cases scheduled for oral argument in March. Tops on the list were several that will decide if President Donald Trump can shield his tax returns and financial records from congressional committees and New York prosecutors.
"In keeping with public health precautions recommended in response to COVID-19, the Supreme Court is postponing the oral arguments currently scheduled for the March session," the announcement said. The court will examine the options for rescheduling those cases in due course in light of the developing circumstances."
