State of the U.S. Supreme Court's website

A blog post dated today at The Volokh Conspiracy concerning the U.S. Supreme Court's website collects helpful links about where to get copies of briefs, opinions, and oral argument audio for its cases (click here). As the post notes, you can't presently do that through the Court's website, which seems strange. The author writes, "it strikes me as sort of a surprising that the Supreme Court’s own website isn’t the primary source of publicly available information about the Court’s cases. It posts the transcripts first, which is very useful, and it has all the docket pages publicly available, both of which are great. But I would think it a good idea for the Court to remake its website to be the first place new opinions are made available; the first place filed briefs are available online; and the first place oral argument audios are posted."
