SCOTUS blocks video coverage of Perry v. Schwarzenegger

In a 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme court decided that broadcasting the trial would cause "irreparable harm" to those who defend the ban on gay marriage. In his dissent, Justice Breyer pointed out that Proposition 8 defenders "...are all experts or advocates who have either already appeared on television or Internet broadcasts, already toured the state advocating a 'yes' vote on Proposition 8".

Makes you wonder why they want to hide. Oh yeah- because their anti-gay campaigns make them look like bigoted lunatics.

Great live blogging and other coverage here.
