The "one"-minute drill?

Over at SCOTUS Blog they've got an interesting post on the August 18 motion of two amici seeking a mere one minute of oral argument in the upcoming campaign finance case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

I've lost count of the times I've told my students "if you can't persuade the bench of your point in less than a minute, then you won't persuade them at all." But although it may be plenty of time for Nick Cage to swipe your ride, even I would be a little concerned about my ability to convince the Supreme 9 in less than 60 seconds.

Interesting strategy, though, in seeking an audience before the Court.
