A live stream may not have been available before but I distinctly remember listening to oral arguments back when Heller was being argued so at the very least after the fact recordings have been available to the general public. I think more people would benefit to listen to an oral argument once or twice, the experience of hearing them dig into one sides argument leaves you feeling like you know where the case is going to go right up until they start on the other side. It gives you a new appreciation for just how hard I think the SCOTUS does try to be apolitical even in highly political cases.
