Cameras in the Courtroom Act

HR 3222, the "Cameras in the Courtroom Act," requires the Supreme Court to permit television coverage during all open sessions unless a majority of justices vote that coverage would violate due process rights in a specific case. This bill directly affects Supreme Court proceedings by establishing a default rule for public broadcasting, with a narrow exception for individual cases. The key provision amends Title 28 of the U.S. Code to mandate this coverage policy, replacing the current practice where the Court has discretion over media access. The change applies only to open sessions, not closed proceedings, and does not alter the Court's authority to restrict coverage in exceptional circumstances.
