Televise the Supreme Court?
Senator Arlen Specter, along with two other Republicans and three Democrats,
has introduced legislation "to require the court to televise its proceedings."
I think this is a terrible idea? What do you think?
In addition to my misgivings (which include the typical arguments against televising the proceedings), I am skeptical that any legislation could
force the Supreme Court's hand on this matter. Such legislation would implicate the separation of powers and the court would be the final arbiter over any controversy.
