Courts - "Justices grant rare, revealing interviews to C-SPAN"
Tony Mauro of The National Law Journal gives some examples today and then writes:
These revealing vignettes from justices on a court that is congenitally private were all included in a week's worth of documentaries produced and aired by C-SPAN, the cable channel that hopes one day to broadcast Supreme Court oral arguments. That day still seems far off, but until then the assembled interviews of all nine sitting justices -- and the two retired ones -- conducted in recent months may stand as the fullest visual portrait ever of the modern-day Supreme Court. C-SPAN producer Mark Farkas said in an interview, "I came away understanding the personalities, which are so important to how the Court works. This is a human institution."For links, see this ILB entry from Oct. 2nd. Everything remains available online.
