Update: Patrick McCollum in Court Today

You can now listen to and download an audio recording of oral arguments (thanks to Hecate for the tip) made yesterday in Patrick McCollum’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals appearance. As I mentioned yesterday, this appeal will decide if his case against the State of California’s “five faiths” policy (which limits the hiring of paid chaplains to Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Native American adherents) will go forward.

I’ve embedded the audio below:

I’ve been in contact with Patrick McCollum today, and I should have more information about the case for you soon.

    Any idea what it takes to get transcripts of the hearings? Are they available at the courthouse, do they require a fee?

    Especially when they're not entitled to any rebuttal.
