US v. AZ Live Coverage on CSPAN at NOON Eastern

FYI, today oral argument will take place at the Ninth Circuit in the expedited appeal of the Arizona immigration law, SB1070. The argument starts at NOON Eastern. (Actually, it starts at 9am Pacifica in San Francisco, but I'm on the east coast now.)

Some background material on the lawsuit is here and here (our old posts with links to the District Court decision and Arizona's appeal brief).

Another interesting item of background: Judge Carlos Bea, one of the panel judges, was as a college student ordered deported and had to appeal to get that ruling overturned. That's also the link you want to click if you're interested in projections of how this particular panel will rule.

General background information on today's hearing is here. It will be double-length, that is, one hour long because of the complicated and contentious nature of the case.

CSPAN will show the argument live as part of the Ninth Circuit's program to televise court hearings. You can watch on TV or stream it here. If you ever wondered what I do for a living, well, this is what I do. (No, this is not my case. I'm saying I do appellate work.)
