Yep, there will be 5 1/2 hours of testimony. Almost unheard of to get that much time devoted to a case.
argument, not testimony, and i’m sure it’s because there are various amicae participants in the case. It won’t just be appellee and appellant there are intervenors because of the magnitude of the case. my office had a 4th circuit argument on some of the regulations that we deal with, which are impacted by PPACA, and the courtroom was overflowing with specators, lawyers from firms who have other cases dealing with this issue, not involved in the case etc.
