Courts - Senate Judiciary hearing on cameras in the courtroom

Last evening, th4e regular C-SPAN series, America and the Courts, showed portions of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing from earlier this month:

Cameras in the Courtroom. The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on televising the Supreme Court and other federal court proceedings. Panelists included the President of the Radio & Television News Directors Association & the CEO of Court TV. Currently only the 2nd and 9th Circuit Appeals Courts allow cameras in the courtroom. This is a portion of the hearing.
More about the hearing is available from this 11/10/05 ILB entry. See also this entry from 11/19/05 and this update from 11/20/05 about the prohibition against cameras in Indiana trial courtrooms.
