Supreme Court should rethink ban on cameras

[Commentary] The objections to cameras in the Supreme Court seem pretty frail when compared with the public's right to know. Take the concern that TV might encourage lawyers to showboat. Doing so runs the risk of alienating the justices. Would lawyers really rather brandish their acting chops than win their cases? Then there's the possibility that news outlets would use snippets and sound bites in a misleading way. Well, that's a risk we run with having a free press. The same thing could easily happen in a news account for a newspaper or website.
