The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bill last week that would allow Americans to watch Supreme Court and federal court proceedings on video. Oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court are currently provided via a live audio feed that displays a photo of each justice and attorney when speaking.
The Dispatch reported on the measure in an article published June 26 by Washington-based reporter Charles Hilu. The piece examined whether cameras would increase transparency or turn proceedings into a performance. Hilu joined The Dispatch in 2024 after serving as the Collegiate Network Fellow at the Washington Free Beacon and interning at National Review and the Washington Examiner.
