Bill > S1146

This bill, called the Cameras in the Courtroom Act, proposes to amend Title 28 of the United States Code to require the Supreme Court to permit television coverage of all its open sessions, with a critical exception: the justices can vote to prohibit cameras in a specific case if they determine that such coverage would violate the due process rights of any party involved in the case. The bill would add a new section (Section 678) to Chapter 45 of Title 28, mandating television coverage as the default setting for Supreme Court proceedings while preserving judicial discretion to protect individual due process rights. Currently, Supreme Court proceedings are not routinely televised, so this legislation would significantly increase public access to and transparency of the Court's work, allowing citizens to watch oral arguments and other public sessions through live television broadcasts. The bill reflects a growing movement to make the judicial system, particularly the highest court in the United States, more open and accessible to the general public.
