For anyone whose curiosity has been peaked by this case — its long term implications for the Freedom of Information Act and the ripple effect it might have on state laws, as well as what the case may portend for the future of FOIA under the current Supreme Court— and for anyone who is simply curious about what a United States Supreme Court oral argument sounds like, here is an audio link to Monday's oral argument in Food Marketing Institute v Argus Leader Media.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts introduces the case. Counsel for Food Marketing begins his argument and barely completes his introductory remarks when he is interrupted by Justice Sonia Sotomayor's first question concerning the effect of the Eighth Circuit's adverse opinion and the US Department of Agriculture's decision not to appeal it.

An opinion is not expected in the case until next spring.
