SCOTUS temporarily delays most video coverage of Prop 8 trial

Prop 8 proponents have won a last-minute — but temporary — victory regarding video coverage of the Prop 8 trial, which gets underway today. This morning, according to SCOTUSBlog, the United States Supreme Court temporarily enjoined all video coverage of the trial except a live feed to other rooms in the San Francisco federal courthouse. The presence of cameras providing the live feed obviously makes delayed broadcast of the entire proceedings possible. See SCOTUSBlog for the details.

UPDATE: (1/11/10): The Supreme Court’s order is now up at its website.
