Allow the use of cameras or other means of recording during Supreme Court oral arguments.

Created by A.J. on March 13, 2015

The press should be allowed to use recording devices such as cameras during Supreme Court hearings. There could be reasonable limits such as not "distracting" any members participating in the oral arguments. We feel it's needed for all people to be able to see into the court and due to the small court sizes cameras would allow people to watch the hearing without causing interruptions inside the courthouse. This would vastly improve the current situation for journalists who have to write all of the dialogue they feel is necessary by hand,
