But the sessions nevertheless allow justices to test one another\u2019s theories and, because of that, the arguments can influence the reach of a decision.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And for the public, the debates \u2014 which have been livestreamed only since the pandemic \u2014 offer a glimpse into how nine of the most powerful people in Washington are thinking about various appeals that often have national implications.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"scotus_tracker_hp_card_v3___exlargetease.png\" class=\"wp-image-128\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/d964327ad1fc50c34c56fd8549e9c199.png\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Rhyannon Bartlett-Imadegawa, CNN<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Tracking the major Supreme Court cases of 2026<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>1  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s very important for the court\u2019s legitimacy,\u201d said Tonja Jacobi, a law professor at Emory University who has extensively studied arguments. \u201cIt can help reassure people that at least some of this is law.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The impact of shortening the sessions could fall heaviest on the court\u2019s liberal wing, if only because in recent terms, those three justices tend to speak the most on average.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            During the pandemic, when the court switched to virtual arguments, the justices would ask questions in order of seniority rather than the free-form, \u201chot bench\u201d style used for decades. When the justices returned to the physical courtroom in 2021, some wanted to retain seniority-based questioning while others pushed for a return to the faster-paced pre-pandemic system.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A compromise was struck that has been in place ever since: First free-form, then a round of \u201cseriatim\u201d questioning. But the format has made it harder to keep advocates and justices on the clock.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Supreme Court schedules 60-minute argument sessions in most cases. But the justices in recent years have often blown past that timetable, a break from the days when former Chief Justice William Rehnquist would keep such a rigid approach to time that he would sometimes cut advocates off midsentence.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The average length of arguments in the current term clocked in at just under 90 minutes, according to a CNN analysis. That\u2019s up nearly 10 minutes from the term that began in 2020, when the court heard arguments remotely because of the pandemic.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The longest argument of the term, at nearly three hours, was the case involving President Donald Trump\u2019s sweeping global tariffs, which the court ultimately struck down.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That argument, which technically involved two appeals, was scheduled for 80 minutes.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Justices Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan.\" class=\"wp-image-129\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/d76bfcf997de59f013415b1d1b4010fc.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Justices Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>\u2018We enjoy this sometimes\u2019: The rhetorical battle between Justices Alito and Kagan at the Supreme Court<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>10  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        Thomas doesn\u2019t object\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Criticism of the current approach isn\u2019t universal. Many Supreme Court attorneys \u2014 who are alerted to the clock by white and red lights on their podium \u2014 have said they appreciate the extra time, and the ability to talk one-on-one with justices in the \u201cseriatim\u201d round of questioning withoutinterruption.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Justice Clarence Thomas, who for years famously never spoke during oral arguments, also has no objection.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe current approach may run on a bit long, but you cannot say you have not had a chance to say your piece,\u201d the court\u2019s senior associate justice told a group of judges and lawyers gathered outside Miami recently.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI don\u2019t play golf. I don\u2019t play cards. I don\u2019t hang out. So, I can sit there all day,\u201d Thomas joked at a conference organized by the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals on May 14. \u201cI have no place to go.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Members of the three-justice liberal bloc, operating on a court where conservatives hold a six-justice supermajority, are often struggling against the tide and, it turns out, talk more than their colleagues.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=109\">Secret Service says officers fatally shot a person who fired at them near White House<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, in particular, are among the most loquacious. Sotomayor, the court\u2019s senior liberal, spoke on average more than six minutes during arguments in the current term, according to an analysis by Adam Feldman, founder of Empirical SCOTUS, and Jake Truscott, a political science professor at the University of Florida.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jackson, who as the least-senior justice gets the final say during each session of argument, spoke on average for more than eight minutes per argument.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            By contrast, none of their colleagues spoke for more than five minutes on average.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Neither Sotomayor nor Jackson responded to requests for comment.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jacobi, who has studied interruptions during Supreme Court arguments, said the longer format may counterintuitively have downsides for transparency.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s become a little less accessible,\u201d she said of the run-on arguments. \u201cI do think there\u2019s a lot less discipline now.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s also not clear that shortening the sessions would impact the outcome of cases. By the time the justices reach an argument, they have read hundreds of pages of briefs and they have often confronted similar legal questions in past cases. Several justices have made clear over the years that they have a sense of how they think the case should turn out before they take their seats.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cInevitably,\u201d Alito told the 5th Circuit\u2019s judicial conference in May, according to SCOTUSblog, he has \u201ca tentative idea\u201d of how a case will turn out before arguments.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cSometimes it really makes a difference in terms of \u2018help me to try to figure this out,\u2019\u201d Justice Elena Kagan said in a 2010 interview a few months after joining the court. \u201cSometimes maybe a little bit less so.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Associate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson listen as U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during inauguration ceremonies in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC.

A former prosecutor, Sotomayor often cuts off advocates if they\u2019re dancing around a direct answer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe majority of those people were shipped back or had to go back from where they came and were killed,\u201d Sotomayor said, recalling the US government\u2019s decision in 1939 to bar entry for hundreds of Jewish refugees who had fled Nazi Germany aboard an ocean liner. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re doing here, isn\u2019t it?\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The government attorney, Vivek Suri, attempted to pivot, returning to what he viewed as the \u201cquestion before the court.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            As Sotomayor began to interrupt, Roberts made clear he had had enough.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cCould I,\u201d the chief began, turning his attention to Suri. \u201cWould you complete your answer?\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s not just the length but also the format that has occasionally drawn criticism on the bench.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The ordered questioning has created unusual dynamics. Thomas often gets the first word. Jackson often gets the last word \u2014 which she frequently uses as an opportunity to reinforce positions taken by members of the court\u2019s liberal wing earlier in the discussion.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The benefits are less certain for the justices in the middle.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWell, let me begin with Justice Sotomayor\u2019s rebuttal of what she took me to be asking about regarding constitutional rights,\u201d Alito said during arguments in March in a case about the extent to which criminal defendants may waive their right to appeal when they enter into plea agreements.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Because Sotomayor is less senior, Alito knew she would get the final word in the exchange \u2014 a .\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cNow she will have the right to surrebuttal,\u201d Alito said of his colleague. \u201cI won\u2019t have a chance to answer under this questioning regime that we have now.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=93\">What ER doctors, prosecutors and parents want you to know about e-bikes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like all good lawyers, Supreme Court justices can argue over anything \u2013 including, it turns out, how best to argue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Oral arguments are taking forever.
