Let's not put cameras in the Supreme Court chamber

U.S. Senator Ben Sasse is right, cameras are responsible for the collective "jackassery" seen Congress, let's hope the Supreme Court avoids that.

1. I have a life.

2. You rarely learn anything new.

3. It's mainly political posturing. 

4. Zzzzzzzzz... 

(However, I have some thoughts about her hearing, and I plan to write something for paid subscribers tomorrow.)

I wanted to address a tangential issue brought up during today's hearing.

I noticed this afternoon that U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, R-Neb., was trending on Twitter. He's a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The first thing I noticed was a clip going around where he commented on cameras in the court.

Sen. Sasse (R-NE) says he believes it should be up to the Supreme Court to decide if cameras are allowed in the courtroom, adding: “I think we should recognize the jackassery we often see around here is partly because of people mugging for short-term camera opportunities."

"I think it should be a decision for the Supreme Court to make about whether or not there are cameras in the courtroom, not a decision for the Article I branch to make for Article III," Sasse said.
