Judge Walker’s gambit to bamboozle the Supreme Court—Part 3

Ed Whelan writing at National Review Online Bench Memos: “Some time on Sunday, Kozinski sent a six-page letter to Judge Anthony Scirica, chairman of the executive committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States, and to James C. Duff, secretary of that body. Kozinski’s letter responded to a January 8 letter from Scirica and Duff in which they had written ‘to bring to [his] attention … the policy of the Judicial Conference of the United States which does not allow courtroom proceedings in civil and criminal trials in district courts to be broadcast, televised, recorded or photographed for the purpose of public dissemination.’ Scirica and Duff asked Kozinski ‘to consider the Judicial Conference policy’ in deciding whether to authorize televising the anti-Proposition 8 trial.”
