How is the privacy of those before the court an issue? It's already well known who argues there, and they routinely state their positions for the press on the steps of the courthouse.
When has transparency been an issue with the Supreme Court? (Really: it has not.)
How has televising courtroom trials enhanced anything about our judicial system? (Keeping in mind that the Supreme Court does not conduct trials). I don't believe it has. OJ Simpson's trial comes to mind, and that was certainly not a moment to be proud of.
The networks (read: Fox News, CNN and MSNBC) are not interested in anything other than their ratings. For them it's not about transparency or anything else.
