| Description | A House Democrat overseeing the federal judiciary's budget is urging Chief Justice John Roberts to start livestreaming the Supreme Court's proceedings so that the public can have greater access to important arguments.
Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.), who chairs a House Appropriations subcommittee on government services, sent a letter to Roberts on Tuesday asking him to make the court more transparent.
"The most powerful court in the land, making dramatically important decisions for everyone in this country, should not be among the few left that do not provide access made possible by readily available technology," Quigley wrote. "As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, there remain neither practical nor principled barriers to allowing the public to view Supreme Court proceedings via the Internet." |
