We have argued over many years that proceedings in the United States Supreme Court should be televised. Our argument was straightforward and, we think, persuasive. Court proceedings are public. In the twenty-first century, a proceeding is not truly "public" when only a hundred or so people can observe it in person in real time and the rest of us must rely on artists' renderings of the participants and journalists' accounts of what was said and done. An after-the-fact report filtered through the lens of another is never the same or as accurate or as objective as seeing it for ourselves.
