ACLU Press Conf. Online Live
For those who are interested, the ACLU will hold an online press conference
Wednesday following the oral arguments before the Supreme Court. Below are
directions on how to hear it, though we'll probably still be in class when
it happens (about 11:30 a.m.)
You can also get a GIF that will let you know when a decision has been reached.
