Flaws in the majority opinion
The US Supreme Court justices question the attorneys representing the parties to a case during oral arguments. Each attorney has 30 minutes to present his or her reason the justices should find in favor of his client, as well as clarify points and answer any questions the justices raise. The justices are usually better prepared and know more about the case, precedents and applicable law than the attorneys, and often grill them.Oral arguments occur after all parties have submitted their briefs and the justices read the briefs and relevant case law, but before they vote on the case.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
When justices are not listening to arguments, they are (1) reading written arguments about cases and (2) holding private meetings to decide the meaning of the law.

Deliberation-the justices meet privetly to share thier opinion and discuss the case
That's correct; the Supreme Court does not hear testimony from witnesses during its proceedings. Instead, the Court reviews written briefs submitted by both parties, which outline legal arguments and relevant case law. Oral arguments may be presented by attorneys, but these do not involve witness testimonies. The justices focus on interpreting the law and the Constitution, ultimately deciding cases based on the written record and legal arguments presented.
During a sitting session, the justices hold case conferences on Thursday and Friday following the oral arguments heard earlier in the week.
