The Revolution will be YouTubed


The federal Prop 8 will be seen, but not live and not on TV.

However, we will see it on You Tube.
Despite thousands of people responding to a request for comments on allowing a live TV pool camera in the courtroom for the federal Prop 8 trial starting next Monday, Judge Vaughn Walker just declined that offer by a Media Coalition and In Session TV.

However, Judge Walker ordered a TV recording of the proceedings for delayed web distribution on YouTube the next day – pending approval by the 9th Circuit.

Judge Walker did note in court that the public comment is still open but apparently did not indicate whether any public comment would change his decision. The deadline for public comment is Friday.

Well, the Courage Campaign has gather over 75,000 signatures to get the case televised. Maybe, just maybe that will change the judge's mind.
