Cameras in the courtroom is a great idea.

I think cameras should be in the courtroom, but they need to be managed properly. You need a judge to hold the line.

The problem with not having a camera is that one must trust the analysis of a reporter who's telling you what occurred in the courtroom. You have to take into consideration the filtering effect of that person's own biases.

If you take the cameras out of the courtroom, then you hide a certain measure of truth from the public.

I think cameras ought to be everywhere the reporters are allowed to go. I think, furthermore, reporters and cameras ought to be everywhere that the Constitution says the public can go.

And if you take the cameras out of the courtroom, then you hide, I think, a certain measure of truth from the public, and I think that's very important for the American public to know.

The Court's objection to cameras may be much more a product of history and process than an unwillingness to be placed in the public spotlight.

I have not fully had the opportunity to evaluate the impact of cameras in the courtroom.

Whereas if you have a camera in the courtroom, there's no filtering. What you see is what's there.
