Generally, I am a believer that all court proceedings, including the federal supreme court, should be televised. However, there is a persuasive argument that in appellate courts - particularly the federal supreme court - there are those who would grandstand instead of arguing the points. Personally, while I recognize this type of behavior is a possibility, I think that the benefits of an open court outweigh it.
All that said, here is the nightmare scenario given form.

The members of the Supreme Court don't allow cameras for the same reason they don't talk to reporters: they don't want the average American to realize that the decisions they make are political and are made for reasons of expediency and personal taste. And that won't change, because a "justice" of the court, once appointed, is answerable to nobody.
