Oral arguments McDonald v Chicago

EugeneInNC · March 5, 2010, 06:36 PM

I am reading the transcript of the oral arguments in the McDonald case. I think from the way this reads it would be interesting to hear the audio of this argument. Does anyone know if there is a copy of that available for download and if so where I could find it?

Thanks in advance

There is no recording in the Supreme Court. Only the written record.

Thanks for the info. I was just reading and trying to imagine the tone of voice used by each of the justices. Anyway...
Thanks again

Eugene, you will probably enjoy the sticky at the top of this page on this case. RandyinNC

Actually, oral arguments are recorded. Unlike the Heller case of two years ago (and some others, more recently), the Court said they would not release this recording to the media. Expect to be able to get it, next Oct. at the start of the new term. That is when orals are generally released.
