Charles Cooper, the attorney representing the Prop 8 supporters in the Perry v Schwarzenegger federal case challenging Prop 8, filed two letters asking the judge not to allow TV cameras into the courtroom. The letters are in response to a Media Coalition's request to allow at least pool TV coverage by In Session, formerly Court TV (see my coverage here and here - and Ted Johnson's coverage at Variety's Wilshire and Washington.com).

The plaintiffs - a legal team represented by famed attorneys Ted Olson and David Boies - responded to District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker saying they support broadcasting the trial.
