Ninety minutes into the questioning of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, a senator has asked her the inevitable question whether she would like to see cameras in the Supreme Court. The court on which she now sits, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, allows cameras to record its proceedings, but the Supreme Court has resisted the idea for decades. Sotomayor answered the question from Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wisc.) diplomatically, with seeming support for the idea but a nod toward the collegiality of the Court on which she may soon sit.
