I support the opinion of the Chief Justice on not televising the proceedings.

Well said sir! I appreciate the argument and opinion presented. I think you have explained your point well. Though, the more eyes you have on a process, the less likely it is for corruption to occur...

I think he is probably the least political judge on the court today. I really like him.

If armed militias show up at the court, as they did in Michigan, would you reconsider the ruling on the Second Amendment?

Isn’t it our right as citizens to attend court cases? T.v. Allows us as citizens to participate in our right. We all know thru T.V. The government will then not be required to provide a space large enough for all citizens that wish to attend. If we (as citizens) choose to participate we can, if not we turn off the T.V.

i really did have to hear this......and cspan aint my favorite program

Can they not handle random legitimate and illegitmate judgments on their judgments?

How can a court be the "most transparent" when no one can see what is going on behind closed doors? People need to be able to see and hear the oral arguments to understand the pros and cons of a case, in my humble opinion.

Roberts you were just expose thank you God

we need five cameras.....in case i moon the courts for being corrupted

Why should we televise Supreme Court oral arguments? What do they think we are? A Republic?

Chief Justice is a bozo

CSPAN, your entire channel is essentially based on the value of cameras watching our government. When Roberts glibly says "no" it gets laughs because it's so dismissive and condescending. "No institution is improved by cameras, they're only made worse" and the CSPAN host has no comeback!? When he says senators speak to empty rooms, remind our Chief Judge we only know that fact because of the cameras! Remind him that people are more interested and more informed when cameras are present. Point out that the public was less informed about their government before the use of cameras. Point out that his worry of "showboating" is just as applicable to audio recordings and transcripts. -OR- just do what this host did, sit by and smile and politely take it while Roberts disparages the entire CSPAN method and mission.

this isn’t a Judicial, or Political, Committee :) political opinions of precedential Court rulings are quite Immaterial.

I believe it should be televised. That way, the criminals would not want to be embarrased and not so much crime. Also, we would have better judges.

never show boat...just be right

It is not a performance, just do your job. If the people want cameras deal with it. Television is passe.

not transparent enough for the people thanks Roberts......... Judges and lawyers have had it too good for too long.

we need to make sure they stay out of the bar...........and let justice serve........that 3rd branch....i hope i never lose faith in

Justice Roberts is a fucking commie
