As news media and others ask the U.S. Supreme Court for video and audio coverage of upcoming blockbuster arguments this term, one justice—Elena Kagan—admitted Monday to being “very conflicted” about cameras in the high court.
In a question-and-answer period during an appearance at the University of Chicago’s Institute on Politics, Kagan was asked whether it wasn’t “hypocritical” when she voiced how rewarding and important it was to see school students in the public audience during oral arguments and yet many schools and others don’t have the economic resources to go to the court. Why shouldn’t there be video coverage of arguments so all can see what the court does, she was asked.
