Judge Vaughn Walker has ruled regarding the televising of the federal challenge to Prop 8 scheduled to begin Monday. Cameras will be allowed, but not live. They'll be court-operated and video of the proceedings will be posted online:


"Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker approved court-operated cameras in his courtroom for delayed release on YouTube, but rejected a bid by media organizations to televise the proceedings themselves for live broadcast. Walker, by approving some broadcast of the Proposition 8 trial, became the first federal judge in the West to make use of an experimental program put in place recently by the 9th Circuit Judicial Council, which sets policy for federal courts in nine states, including California. Walker rejected the arguments of Proposition 8's defenders, who opposed any broadcast of the proceedings outside the San Francisco federal building. It was not clear from Walker's remarks how long the delay would be for the video to be posted on the Internet."

2. I think its great in a way better than live

Who is going to watch live proceedings for hours and hours when you can just watch highlights and have viral videos spreading showing the hate behind the anti-equality forces:)

3. As long as they realize their hatred will be saved and viewed by many...

I'm good!

Hypocrites... treating anyone like a leper is wrong... their Jesus told them so. Dumbasses.

5. Youtube? That'll be really interesting. Sorta like a local, non-cable C-SPAN.
