Supreme Court Stays Prop 8 Trial Broadcast

Prop. 8 proponents made a last-minute request Saturday to exclude cameras, arguing they would intimidate witnesses in U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker's courtroom. The blackout will last until at least 1 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday as the court considers the request. Justice Stephen Breyer said he would have allowed the cameras to roll while the court is making its decision because the proponents could not show they would suffer "irreparable harm."
