Bill > HR2361

This bill, known as the Cameras in the Courtroom Act, would require the Supreme Court to allow television coverage of all its open sessions, with a key exception: the justices can vote to block cameras in a specific case if they believe broadcasting would violate the due process rights of the parties involved. Currently, Supreme Court proceedings are not televised, and this bill would create a new section (Section 678) in Title 28 of the United States Code to mandate such coverage. The legislation represents a significant transparency effort, potentially allowing the public to directly observe the Court's oral arguments and deliberations for the first time, while still preserving the Court's ability to protect individual parties' legal rights through a majority vote opt-out mechanism. By requiring televised coverage as the default and only permitting exceptions through a specific judicial vote, the bill aims to increase public understanding of the Supreme Court's work and make the highest court's proceedings more accessible to the American people.
