| Cameras invade federal courts. Film at 11. |

American Lawyer's Litigation Daily (fifth item) reports that the ingenious argument by Boies, Schiller's Jonathan Sherman to crack open federal courts to camera access has won two trial judges' support. AmLaw's report, by Andrew Longstreth, links to the two orders. I blogged at more length about this in July.
This is an important, albeit ad hoc, experiment that provides the first hope in years that our federal courts will be subject to the same public scrutiny that's given to many state courts. Related weather prediction: The sky will not fall when the cameras start taping.

While Sherman and the big corporate media can video trials, smaller media is denied. As a journalist of African Descent it seems the trend is to let the big white boys film, while little niggers will be denied and not even heard.
