WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it will hold arguments by teleconference in May in key cases, including President Donald Trump’s bid to shield his tax and other financial records.

The court will make live audio of the arguments available for the first time. It had previously postponed courtroom arguments for March and April because of the coronavirus.

The court will hear 10 cases in all between May 4 and May 13. In addition to fights over subpoenas for Trump’s financial records, they include two cases about whether presidential electors are required to cast their Electoral College ballots for the candidate who won their state.

The justices and the lawyers arguing the cases all will participate remotely. The court said a live audio feed will be provided to news organizations.

1. Of course they will

But it is fine to send Wisconsin voters out to cram into minimum voting stations for hours in hail and rain to re-elect ONE right:white wing state Supreme Court crook. But, all lives matter, right?

2. Hey Roberts did you forget the shit sandwich you did in Wisconsin..................

your such an asshole.................I got a bet that your going to let the other asshole off on his taxes................. prove me, wrong but I doubt it..........................

7. Hopefully 'Dread Justice Roberts' softens enough to make trump taxes a key case

[turbinetree]

8. Its on the docket and he said he was going to decide by the end of the term................

I still think he is going to let him off...................

[empedocles]

9. The Great Depression suggested that the Supremes do follow 'lection returns' - Will Rogers

Maybe the polls will give Dread Roberts some pause . . . . . like Obamacare

[turbinetree]

10. Will Rogers was great, my mother loved his wit and charm with words.............she said

it was what got her and the family through the depression......................his track record from the court while he was with Rehnquist was to go after voting rights from day one, we wills see, but I still think that he will give him a pass on the taxes

3. I'd like to hear

The rationale for this.

[former9thward]

14. The rationale for what?

The SC doing business?

11. .....This shit will go totally....

....sideways when some clever fun-loving hackers do a
real-time Mystery Science Theater 3000 on the Supremes.

Maybe they can use the soundtrack from "My Cousin Vinny."
