At Volokh Conspiracy, Josh Blackman has a four-part series on the oral arguments in the disqualification case:

Oral Arguments in Trump v. Anderson Part I: Justice Gorsuch Gets "Officers of the United States"  

Oral Arguments in Trump v. Anderson Part II: Justice Jackson Gets "Office under the United States"  

Oral Arguments in Trump v. Anderson Part III: Justice Kavanaugh Gets Griffin's Case  and Justice Barrett gets FedCourts  

Oral Arguments in Trump v. Anderson Part IV: Justice Sotomayor and Kagan get the line between national power and federalism  

Related: He also has thoughts about some issues that came up at the originalism works-in-progress conference in San Diego, where he, Will Baude and Michael Paulsen presented their disqualification papers (unfortunately Seth Barrett Tillman was unable to attend):
