| 00:00:00 | WRONG. |
| 00:00:01 | IN THE RICHMOND NEWSPAPERS CASE IN 1980, THE SUPREME COURT SAID THAT THE PROCESS OF JUSTICE IS AN OPEN PROCESS. |
| 00:00:08 | ACTUALLY, THEY SAID THAT AS LONG AGO AS CRAIG VERSUS HARDY IN 1940. |
| 00:00:15 | IT IS AN OPEN PROCESS, IT OUGHT TO BE AN OPEN PROCESS AND FOR THE COURT TO PICK AND CHOOSE BETWEEN THE MEDIA, THE FORMS OF MEDIA THAT UNDERTAKE TO COVER THEIR PROCEEDINGS, IT SEEMS TO ME, TO BE ENGAGING IN WHAT IS A FORM OF FIRST AMENDMENT DISCRIMINATION. |
| 00:00:32 | I MEAN, MY COLLEAGUE, PETE WILLIAMS, FROM NBC WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PERSON TO BE STANDING OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM AND NARRATING A FILM ABOUT THE ORAL ARGUMENT, BECAUSE PETE UNDERSTANDS THE COURT. |
| 00:00:49 | I, FRANKLY, AM NEVER PERSUADED BY THE ARGUMENT THAT THE COURT IS SO FRAGILE THAT IT COULDN'T SURVIVE TELEVISING. |
| 00:00:56 | I MEAN, IT -- IT'S A PRETTY HEARD INSTITUTION, FOLKS. |
| 00:01:02 | AND IF YOU EXPOSE IT TO TELEVISION -- I MEAN, I'VE SEEN EDITORIAL CARTOONS ABOUT THE VEEM COURT WHICH, IF I WERE SITTING UP THERE, I WOULD -- I WOULD BE, WHOA, YOU KNOW, THAT REALLY IS GOING TO INJURY THE INSTITUTION BECAUSE IT'S SO HARSH. |
| 00:01:18 | BUT -- BUT, THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE COURT IS NOT GOING TO LOSE PUBLIC RESPECT IF IT GOES ON TELEVISION. |
| 00:01:26 | IT WILL ONLY GAIN RESPECT. |
| 00:01:28 | I -- I WILL TELL YOU WHAT VERY LIKELY IS GOING TO HAPPEN. |
| 00:01:33 | IF YOU WATCH A TELEVISION PROGRAM THAT BROADCASTS IN FULL THE BILLSKI ARGUMENT ON PATENT LAW AND -- AND GET INTO THE DEGREE OF OBVIOUSNESS OF A PATENT AND THE FORMULA FOR WHAT'S PATENTABLE, I MEAN, THEY BETTER PUT THAT ON BETWEEN 2:00 AND 3:00 A. |
| 00:01:52 | M. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO SERVE ONLY THE INSOMNIACS IN THE AUDIENCE. |
| 00:01:56 | BUT -- BUT THAT IS NOT THE ROUTINE CASE. |
| 00:01:59 | MOST OF THE CASES OVER THERE ARE FASCINATING. |
| 00:02:02 | I MEAN, THE COURT HAD A DECISION YESTERDAY ON THE CUSTODY RIGHTS OF PARENTS WHO LIVE IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. |
| 00:02:08 | IT WAS A FASCINATING CASE. |
| 00:02:10 | IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL TO PUT THAT ON TELEVISION SO. |
| 00:02:13 | YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT WERE NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO PICK AND CHOOSE BETWEEN THE FORMS OF MEDIA, IT SEEMS TO ME AS A PUBLIC EDUCATION PROCESS IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR FOR THE COURT TO BE PUT ON TELEVISION. |
| 00:02:26 | THEY DO IT -- THEY DO IT AT THE STATE LEVEL ALL THE TIME, AND IT'S A GREAT EDUCATIONAL PROCESS. |
| 00:02:31 | AND -- AND I'M SORRY IF A JUSTICE IS RECOGNIZED WHILE THEY ARE WALKING AROUND THE STREET. |
| 00:02:38 | IF THAT'S A RISK, IT SEEMS TO ME, STAY IN YOUR CHAMBERS, YOU KNOW, OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, DON'T MAKE -- DON'T MAKE THE PUBLIC'S INTERESTS IN THE COURT A HOSTAGE TO YOUR CONCERN ABOUT YOUR ANONYMITY. |
| 00:02:53 | I THINK THAT JUST MISPLACES THE VALUE ENTIRELY. |
| 00:02:56 | >> JOAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS BEFORE QUESTIONS. |
| 00:02:59 | >> I JUST WANT TO MENTION HOW |
