A bipartisan group of senators said they are optimistic about the prospects of new legislation to allow camera access inside America's federal courts.
— Amid a torrent of high-profile cases, including more than 1,000 prosecutions stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a bipartisan group of senators said they are optimistic about the prospects of new legislation to allow camera access inside America's federal courts.
Grassley said support has been bolstered by the positive response to a recent change by the Supreme Court to live-stream audio of oral arguments, a shift that began during the pandemic."I think it is just a matter of getting it on the agenda and it will become law," Grassley said of his legislation, which was officially introduced in March.Sunshine in the Courtroom Act of 2023
While senators have perennially proposed legislation to allow cameras in the Supreme Court, Blumenthal said he's increasingly optimistic about the prospects of approval of camera access in the lower-level District courthouses. Recent experiments with camera and audio access to courts have helped build momentum toward loosening restrictions, said Lisa Zycherman, deputy legal director and policy counsel for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Zycherman said at least three federal courts have undertaken pilot programs to allow some camera access. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit allows an audio feed in some key arguments.
