This morning the Third Circuit will hold oral argument in the safe-injection-site case. The govt appeals from denial of its request to block @SafehousePhilly from opening.
The panel is Ambro, Bibas, Roth. Arguing are US Atty MsSwain and Ilana Eisenstein. 1/4

[I'm proud to have been counsel on an amicus brief for 7 states and DC in district court in support of Safehouse, and to have assisted counsel for Safehouse in preparing for this argument at a moot.] 4/4

Bit of trivia: both advocates clerked for Third Circuit judges. McSwain clerked for Rendell, Eisenstein for Becker. A less common occurrence than you might guess.

McSwain arguing first. Telling apart the judges' voices: Judge Roth is easy to identify because she's the only woman on the panel. Ambro's voice is deeper than Bibas's. I've always thought Ambro could have made it in radio.

Practice observation: this is more hypo-heavy than most oral arguments so far, but it's a terrific illustration of the importance of hypos for arguments. Key for judges and advocates to develop implications and future applications of positions. Thorough prep is key.

195 on the youtube stream now. Believe that's more than would fit in CA3's Maris courtroom if this had been in-person. I wonder if the Court will consider keeping the online audio livestream even after live arguments resume? Hope so.
