If Justice Antonin Scalia has his way, don’t expect to see Supreme Court proceedings on the evening news anytime soon.

In the run-up to the Supreme Court’s decision on the Affordable Care Act, calls came from many quarters of the Capitol to open the proceedings to television cameras, including from Sens. Patrick Leahy and Chuck Grassley, the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. In a new interview, though, Scalia says he believes televising court proceedings would do more harm than good.
