Will the U.S. Supreme Court ever allow video cameras to record proceeding?
The U.S. Senate and House have CSPAN cameras. Will the United States Supreme Court ever follow this example? This would be a great way to help with teaching civics and law.

And catch Ginsberg snoring on film? If I want to see something like that I’ll watch paint dry. I can read the Constitution, a bunch of thirs graders could put on a more intellectual debate and process better results, they’d never want us to see that.

I have seen video of Supreme Court proceedings, so I know that they have allowed it in the past. I do not think it is a case of never allowing cameras, but likely decided on a case by case basis. They would probably not ever allow all proceedings to be taped, however, due to the privacy rights of litigants and witnesses, such as minors and rape victims.
As they are not often in session, I do not see how they could support their own channel, 24/7, anyway.
