Prop 8 Hearing to Be Broadcast?

[William769]

A court hearing next week over whether video of the 2010 Proposition 8 trial in San Francisco should be unsealed may itself be broadcasted.

The Associated Press reports that U.S. district chief judge James Ware notified attorneys in the case that he would like to record the Aug. 29 proceedings on the matter. Lawyers representing backers of the antigay ballot initiative oppose the broadcast and have fought to keep sealed video of the trial, which includes testimony by leading LGBT scholars and a withering cross-examination of gay marriage opponent David Blankenhorn by attorney David Boies.

Judge Vaughn R. Walker, now retired, had recorded the trial, though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it could not be broadcasted outside of federal district court viewing areas.

I wonder what they could be so afraid of.
