Reading the case again today (for conlaw class), I went back to what is, for me, one of the best snippets in Supreme Court oral argument. O'Connor is withering, and I think you can hear Dellinger — arguing that civil suits against the President must be delayed until after he's out of office — losing in 3 minutes of real time.
I love the way the other female Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg comes in — after Scalia's I like rules! outburst — and echoes O'Connor — using a somewhat kinder, gentler tone — but essentially saying — as I hear it — this is destroying you.
