I found this website to be so interesting.

http://www2.oyez.org/

I was writing a paper for my Constitutional Law class (on the Hustler Magazine v. Jerry Falwell case) and I came to this website to find some info on the case. What I found was even better though. This website has audio of the Supreme Court cases, and it's played in an easy to follow window where you can follow which Justices are saying what and which lawyers are saying what. I was just listening to Roe v. Wade and it's incredible how I've studied that case so much, and now I'm actually listening to the lawyers and Justices discuss it. It's a really interesting website if you have an interest in law or Supreme Court cases.

Here are some I listened to...

Roe v. Wade: http://www2.oyez.org/cases/1970-1979/1971/1971_70_18/argument
Bush v. Gore: http://www2.oyez.org/cases/2000-2009/2000/2000_00_949/argument
United States v. Nixon: http://www2.oyez.org/cases/1970-1979/1974/1974_73_1766/argument

I've heard of these. I might start listening for my con law class next semester. Or just for fun, because I'm kind of obsessed with the Supreme Court and con law in general.
