U.S.: For Supreme Court, COVID-19 response is 'pretty challenging' Thursday, April 9, 2020

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it was postponing oral arguments in all of the cases it was scheduled to hear in April.
The justices previously postponed their March oral arguments, so there are now nearly two dozen cases – including such time-sensitive disputes as whether states can penalize ‘faithless’ Electoral College delegates who buck the outcome of the state popular vote – queued up and waiting to be heard.
So far, the justices have remained mum about contingency plans if COVID-19 prevents the court from eventually convening to hear the postponed cases before this term ends in early summer.
