This is the title of my latest piece. Here's the intro:
Donald Trump is about to make his first appearance in federal court in Miami. It’s an historic case, and there is wall-to-wall coverage of it. And yet, the public will not see any of the proceedings from inside the courtroom; instead, we will have to rely on the few reporters who are able to get seats inside and a sketch artist, who may have all the talent in the world, but will not be able to do it the justice that a cellphone camera would.
We will not be able to see the former president’s expression when the charges are read. We won’t be able to hear him if he speaks. We won’t be able to view the judge when she releases Mr. Trump on bail. And that’s too bad. We have a right to see it all.
Forget about cameras, reporters won’t even be permitted in the courtroom
with their phones, tablets or computers. That means no live reporting
on Twitter and no emails to the newsrooms with updates. In a world
focused on information and news as it happens, this is unacceptable.

best argument for banning cameras.
Feds are ridiculous about this. Florida state courts have had cameras for decades and it hasn't been a problem.
Hasn’t been a problem?? 🤣🤣🤣
I believe reports are allowed to have cellphones but can only text and not transmit or broadcast. Your welcome.
Dear 2:39: Emojis are not an argument. Name the problems you've seen in state court with cameras.
Hope it stays in Miami!
RE: "We won’t be able to view the judge when she releases Mr. Trump on bail."
Question: Does Trump’s second criminal indictment violate his bond on the first criminal indictment in New York? Will New York prosecutors move to revoke Trump’s New York bond, now that he has been indicted in Florida? If so, does Trump go to Rikers Island until trial?
AMC can do her makeup for a change.
