C-SPAN asks Roberts to allow televised birthright citizenship arguments

C-SPAN is asking Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to allow its cameras into the courtroom during oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case brought by President Trump.

In a letter to Roberts dated April 23, the network said the case holds “profound national significance” and its cameras should be allowed to cover the proceedings live.

“Televising this oral argument would mark a civic milestone at a time when promoting public access and civic understanding of our government institutions would strengthen our democracy,” the letter from C-SPAN CEO Sam Feist reads.

After three federal appeals courts blocked the administration from moving forward with its push to end automatic citizenship for those born on U.S. soil, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to take up the case.

The oral arguments, slated to begin next week, will be one of the most widely watched of the court’s current term.

Television and still cameras are typically barred from covering Supreme Court proceedings. A representative for the court did not respond to The Hill’s request for comment on C-SPAN’s request.

“We stand ready to work with the court to ensure that this broadcast is conducted with the dignity and respect befitting the occasion,” Feist wrote.
