    Why I Won't Be Live Blogging Tomorrow's Oral Argument in McCutcheon,
    the Supreme Court Campaign Finance Case

I am anxious to hear what the Justices have to say, and to share my 
thoughts about it with the public and the press.  But I cannot make it 
to DC for the argument, and the Supreme Court will not be releasing the 
audio of the argument until Friday. This is really inexcusable---part of 
a deliberate policy on the Court to mystify its proceedings. It is a 
government body holding a public hearing. Why should its deliberations 
not be more widely available to the public, at least via audio?

The Court will release a transcript tomorrow afternoon, and I will post 
a link when it is available.

In the meantime, here is my analysis
