Justice Thomas argues against cameras in the Supreme Court
Justice Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court, testifying before a House Appropriations Committee hearing on the Supreme Court’s budget request, responds to a question from Congressman Bonner (R-AR), says that he does not see what positive effect cameras in the Supreme Court chambers would have. He says that oral arguments are active enough already, and he cites Anna Nicole Smith’s case in the Court as an example of the danger of personalities becoming more important than the substantive issues.
