Surprise: Cameras at the Supreme Court

In a surprising move, Chief Justice Roberts announced that cameras will be allowed at the Supreme Court.  It looks like the Court will be moving high-tech.  However, don't expect conferences to be televised.  Television will probably be limited to oral argument and delivery of decisions.  With TV we may start getting a little more out of Justice Thomas who rarely speaks at oral arguments.  Although it may encourage some Justices to grandstand, public ignorance about the Court and its Justices justifies at least giving it a try.

    Sounds like a job for C-Span. Much like with televangelists and their Bible reading audience, folks need to blow the dust off their copy of the U.S. Constitution and fact-check the oral arguments. After all, it's the people's court.
