Senate panel votes, 11-7, to open Supreme Court to cameras
SCOTUS, welcome to the 21st century!
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted, 11-7, Thursday morning for legislation that would open Supreme Court arguments to television coverage.
The bill has a provision which would allow a majority of justices to close arguments in a specific case if due process required it. Many justices have resisted opening the court to cameras, though they now release audio recordings of arguments.
