C-SPAN wants to broadcast Supreme Court arguments for the first time in this Trump case

Public access TV provider C-SPAN is calling on the Supreme Court to televise oral arguments for the first time during upcoming hearings over the Trump administration’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

“This case holds profound national significance,” C-SPAN CEO Sam Feist wrote the court in a letter dated April 23. “Its implications — legal, political, and personal — will affect millions of Americans. In light of this, we believe the public interest is best served through live television coverage of the proceedings. The public deserves to witness—fully and directly—how such a consequential issue is argued before the highest court in the land.”
