Lights, Camera, Justice

Arlen Specter (R-PA) has an op-ed in today's Washington Post entitled Hidden Justice(s). He argues that the Supreme Court should allow TV coverage like other branches of government. In fact, using Congress' constitutional authority to regulate the court (term, number of justices), Specter has introduced a bill to mandate television coverage. Justices Kennedy and Thomas have objected.

From what I understand, Clarence Thomas almost never says anything at Supreme Court proceedings. He probably wouldn't want this fact televised.
