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.
