The Case for Cameras in the Supreme...Cameras are everywhere today: In convenience stores, at intersections, the workplace, your computer, your cellphone, ATM machines. There's even been a camera in news anchor Katie Couric. Yet there's one place cameras have never been allowed: The US Supreme Court. Just what are Supreme Court justices hiding beneath their robes that they continue to say no to cameras in their courtroom? For decades the White House and Congress have opened their public business to television cameras, but the judicial branch has remained staunchly against the practice. As C-SPAN's Brian Lamb tells Reason.tv, the justices have rebuffed every attempt to videotape the oral arguments phase of Supreme Court proceedings. On this, an often-divided court remains unanimous, even if the arguments offered up Justices Scalia, Breyer, Thomas, Kennedy, and others remain even weaker than the majority's logic in their awful Kelo decision, which legitimated eminent domain abuse. Both Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan have spoken in favor of cameras in the Supreme Court. Can a new batch of justices, more attune to the benefits of transparency, finally change things for the better? "The Case for Cameras in The Supreme Court" is written andproduced by Meredith Bragg and Nick Gillespie, who also hosts. Approximately 3.40 minutes.

US supreme court backs Americans' g...The US supreme court has ruled that local and state governments cannot deny an individual's right to own a gun. The decision is expected to have wide-ranging implications across the country, particularly in cities trying to quell violent crime. The ruling also means that prevailing regional gun control laws -- some which have been in force for decades - may now have to go. Al Jazeera's Cath Turner reports. (June 29, 2010)

Democrats Politicized Supreme Court...OVER 100 MORE examples of Fox News Bias at www.youtube.com With Justice John Paul Stevens retiring from the US Supreme Court, Fox News has been spreading a common Republican talking point claiming that Supreme Court nominations were first politicized by the way DEMOCRATS reacted to Pres. Ronald Reagan's 1987 nomination of Robert Bork, but that talking point is not accurate as I show in this video. The clips I use of Fox News anchor Chris Wallace come from a segment of the Fox News program "Happening Now" broadcast on April 9, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online). The clip I use of Karl Rove criticizing Sen. Ted Kennedy during Kennedy's funeral comes from my video titled "Karl Rove Trashes Ted Kennedy on Day of Funeral?" available on YouTube at www.youtube.com The clips I use of MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show" come from the segment broadcast on April 9, 2010, available online at www.msnbc.msn.com And, finally, the image I use of Stephen Gillers' Cardozo Law Review article titled "The Compelling Case Against Robert H. Bork" comes from the webpage at heinonline.org
