/petitioner or respondent? (Not sure which terms are appropriate.)

Though the cite above is to the Colorado State Supreme Court, the same answer would be correct for the U.S. Supreme Court.
The party who goes first in any U.S. Court is the party with the burden of proof. In an appellate court, including the Supreme Court, that's the appellant. In a trial court, it's the prosecution or the Plaintif.

The Petitioner (the party bringing the appeal) would go first. Respondent then has a chance to respond. Then Petitioner has a chance to reply to Respondent's argument.

I think once you get started they will indicate who they want to go first. Don't hop up until they call you.
