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."
