Senator Arlen Specter introduced a sense of the Senate resolution to urge the Supreme Court to allow live television coverage of oral arguments before the court.
If Congress needs to talk about something in secret, as our representatives, it's probably not worth it. Like that bullshit FISA secret session a few years ago. Did they REALLY need to discuss classified intel to talk about the efficacy of FICA and warrantless wiretaps? Couldn't they just debate the issue at hand?
Glad to see CSPAN finally has a good channel full of videos, so I don't have to rely on just CSPANJUNKIEdotorg and votersthinkdotorg for this stuff.
Can someone answer me this? Just how much of what Congress does on the floor and in committee is covered by CSPAN? Is there a significant personage NOT required to be on the air? If you ask me, ALL public proceedings by Congress should be on the air. And Congress should never be allowed to do these slimy secret sessions. It's insane.
I met Arlen and Joan in Southwark . He was an asshole then ,,But.

I think they need cameras mounted on their clothing, and More mounted in all Representatives areas.
And remove them from public areas were people Privacy is Jeopardized.
Congress does not determine the undermining of the People which it serves...Freedom of the Press.

Everything That Specter Claimed Congress Determined HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
Deciding Transparency or not.
I vote to eliminate cameras of all Public Streets.
IF WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM SO DO YOUR CROOKED ASSES.
IT FOR THE PUBLIC'S GOOD...To help STOP CRIME- Fuckers. Taste your medicine.

Sounds like the "Scared little bitch" amendment.
They should be scared, cause their balls are gonna be in the ringer.
But they want it that way...they do it to themselves.
