Judge Walker Will Allow TV Cameras -82,000 responded to call for public interest

The Prop 8 Trial will start on the 11th of January here in San Francisco. You all did a stellar job of insisting on Cameras in the Court Room. Equality AMERICA is reporting -that the Judge has ruled in favor of Cameras in the court room.  UPDATED: 82,000 responded to Courage Campaign‘s Call and others for letters supporting Cameras in Court room in less than 24 hours

 ”  District Judge Walker ruled today that he will allow cameras to broadcast Prop8 lawsuit that challenges California’s vile same-sex marriage ban. While broadcasting federal trials used to be verboten, the same-sex marriage trial starting on Jan 11 will be the first to be broadcast.”
Per equality America’s Facebook Post

Valerie Richardson of Washington Times – Reports :
“Supporters of traditional marriage are outraged over a California judge’s efforts to bring television cameras into court next week to cover a trial challenging Proposition 8, California’s initiative against gay marriage.”  Please read the rest of the Article.

Has anyone thought that this may be a recognition that the Obama administration is in fact seeking transparency or certainly within the climate of the current admin.   My selfish  reason for wanting this to be televised is for Bloggers such as our good selves to have the ability to choose what sparks our respective interests;  we get to be somewhat activist oriented in our responses.  Our perspective different from mainstream press is inavluable, reporting this trial  in real time in blogger format  is going to be wild and exciting.  

My further take is that those who had the chutzpah to propose and vote to  steal my rights under the law, ought  to have the courage to face the nation in the defense of their misconceived  justification.
