A group of attorneys who are members of the Supreme Court bar signed an open letter to Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday, petitioning to extend the online livestreaming of oral arguments that was adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic permanently, while also pushing further for video access.
Nearly two years ago in April 2020, the Supreme Court allowed for the first time the audio live streaming of oral arguments as justices heard cases remotely, allowing access to both journalists and members of the public. Justices returned to in-person hearings in October 2021 as livestreams have continued into 2022, a practice that dozens of attorneys are pushing to remain in place.
The letter also suggests the Supreme Court should eventually consider allowing video access to live hearings and proposed for justices to livestream the announcement of opinions, though it notes"neither of these issues appears to be before the Court at the moment." Despite the proposed legislation and an apparent openness to cameras by some of the more recent associate justices, political commentators remain divided over whether the Supreme Court should follow the same path as Congress, which first allowed televised broadcasts in the House in 1947 and later in the Senate in 1986.
