I've been listening to the first one. Just got done listening to the Justice Department's side and even though the lawyer answers all their questions and makes very nice arguments (though honestly I have no clue what cases he refers to), the two Republican judges are very adversarial. Judge Jennifer Elrod I believe keeps asking the lawyer whether he feels he's in the twilight zone which I guess means that Obama is so out there with his overreaching that this isn't reality anymore. Our lawyer says no, it's at the apex of executive discretion. Elrod again asks what he thinks of Obama's statement that "If congress doesn't act, I'll do it myself" and keeps throwing that back at the justice department lawyer.
Now the Texas lawyer comes and after he says he agrees with the court's original finding, the other Republican appointed judge jokes with him all "good ole boy" like and says "Now why did I think you were going to say that *chuckle*".
Unless there is some sort of law miracle where they absolutely can't deny it, this is going to be a 2-1 loss from what I hear so far.
