Although Congress may not be going remote, the Supreme Court has different ideas. According to a statement released Monday, the court for the first time will allow access to live audio of court hearings as they are conducted over phone over a few days in May. Some of these cases include discussing Trumps financial records, limiting access to abortion under Obamacare, Electoral College defectors, etc. They are basically compiling 10 of the most important cases they could not get to this session, which normally ends in June, due to COVID-19 and are conducting the arguments live. Should be fun to listen to!
