Judge Walker speaks out for televised courtroom proceedings
March 24, 2011
By Adam Bink
Jeremy has the full C-SPAN clip of him speaking on February 18th at an Arizona State forum. The discussion of Prop 8 and cameras begins around the 30:50 minute mark. If you want to see and hear two clips (Olson and Boies cross-examination, including the famous Kenneth Miller clip) you should head over to see the video (new updates coming soon will allow us to post it here!). If you want the summary of what Judge Walker said, I pulled out two clips:
“If anything, I think a broadcast of a trial would be even more compelling than a broadcast of an appellate proceeding.”
He then went on to mention reenactments such as those the Courage Campaign did, and showed a clip of the wonderful Prop 8 Musical. He concluded by saying:
“Well, what would you rather have people learn how the courts function? Would you rather have them listen to the Prop 8 Musical, a reenactment, or the real thing?… I submit to you that the real thing is far better, far more informative, far better for the public, and far breter for teaching people how things work than the kind of reenactments in the Prop 8 case, the Judge Judy world… the real thing is always much better.”
It makes this nostalgia.

Likewise. The short snips prove what we already knew, Judge Walker is an extraordinary person.

Thank you, Judge Walker! Of course, we all know NOM does NOT want trials aired, because that would only expose their great bigotry and hatred.

"Prop 8: The Musical." Too funny. Wanna bet the NOMbies jump all over that "gayness?"

wouldn't it be great if at some point in the future the actual trial footage could be released to the public? Wishful thinking…

http://www.nba2store.com Buying in bulk Kansas City Chiefs jerseys
Carolina Panthers Jerseys Not only do manufacturers buy in bulk when making the NFL football jerseys and cheap NFL throwback jerseys, but also when they sell them in bulk to distributors, they are able to give a good price which suits their customers. In this way distributors making bulk purchases of jerseys for resale in their store are able to give a better deal to the football fans, creating a larger customer base. http://www.nfl2jerseys.com
Oakland Raiders jerseys Replica NFL jerseys are cheap because they do not need to go through the licensing and payment of royalties to the NFL Football League and their teams. http://www.nfl2jerseys.comSince licenses and royalties account for a great percentage of the cost of the actual jersey many distributors and manufacturers try to skip this process as buying fabrics and other materials at increasingly better prices is becoming difficult.
