It would be nice to see how the Supreme Court justices work for once, but at the end of the day, keeping cameras out of the courtroom isn't a bad idea. But it should apply to all courtrooms.

If the Supreme Court makes decisions for the entire nation, then there is nothing wrong with its sessions being on TV.

The justices have complete autonomy and make decisions that affect everyone's lives. Being on television is the least they could do for this country!

There was once a time when life was not so consumed with political matters. We elected others to represent us, and we went to work and led our lives.

Now, many want in on everything because some people love to claim to be superior intellects. That's why the tough decisions are done behind closed doors.

You can hear audio of the arguments already, just after the fact. Audio recordings don't change the way people act as cameras do.

C-SPAN broadcasts the idiocy of Congress. I would love to see that dog and pony show we call the Supreme Court.

Letter to the editor:

Don't even think about putting any TV cameras close to the Supreme Court ("Televise Supreme Court oral arguments: Our View").

You must not remember much of the O.J. Simpson trial nearly 20 years ago. Remember how many celebrities came out of that fiasco? (Remember Kato Kaelin, Mark Fuhrman, Marcia Clark and Johnny Cochran?)

If you want TVs and celebrities, move the Supreme Court to Hollywood.
