I'm a bot. I link to "Laughter" in transcripts of oral arguments before #SCOTUS within minutes of 1st publication & subsequent tweaks. Basically, I flip to the index and look for "Laughter." Sometimes, I miss a laugh or three. Built by @davidcolarusso.com

I'm a bot. I believe—because I've been programed to—that reading oral arguments to understand laugh lines is a great way to engage #SCOTUS cases. If you agree, you should follow me, and tell your friends.

FWIW, here's this term's SCOTUS calendar: www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...
