Release of Oral Argument Audio Recording in Rumsfeld v. FAIR Expected Today

The oral arguments being conducted today before the Supreme Court in Forum for Academic & Institutional Rights, et al. v. Rumsfeld, No.  04-1152, are scheduled for immediate release after the proceedings. At issue is whether the federal government can withhold funds from colleges that ban military recruiting to protest the military's policy toward gays. Check Oyez for availability.

The Court released the audio recording of the oral arguments in Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, No. 04-1144, the abortion rights case involving New Hampshire's parental notification law immediately after oral arguments on November 30th. That release marked the first time Chief Justice Roberts allowed the practice. Sources for the audio files include NPR and Oyez.
