An argument in favor of cameras at #SCOTUS: the high price of hiring a line-stander: http://slate.me/1ELjW0G (by @Dahlialithwick & @mjs_DC)
@eriqgardner It's paying for access to government. Let the govt sell tickets if it wants; right now it's the private sector profiting.

@eriqgardner And it's mainly companies making the money. I say do an online lottery for the public seats at#SCOTUS instead. -
@DavidLat A lottery would also mean that less interested folks get tickets. Wouldn't prevent scalping. -
@eriqgardner No, you'd require ID to enter the lottery & same ID to enter the court. Background checks too to prevent protesters.
