Justices Scalia and Breyer Weigh in on Twitter
Justices Scalia and Breyer respond to the question of whether they've considered tweeting (or "twitting"):
Justice Scalia: "I don't know even what it is . . . I've heard it talked about"
Justice Breyer: "remember when they had that disturbance in Iran . . . there were some Twitters as I call them . . . but there were people there with photos as it went on . . . I sat there for two hours, absolutely hypnotized . . . it's instant and people react instantly . . . it's not something that's going to go away"
Added: Maybe Twitter will help usher cameras into the courtroom? On the other hand, Justice Scalia finds himself in good company, as far as people who aren't Twitter enthusiasts go. One of my favorite bloggers - Marc Randazza - still hasn't jumped on the bandwagon (although his blog does have a Twitter feed)!

Awesome! Maybe this will help warm them up to putting a second 20th Cent. technology (tv, in addition to radio!) into the SCOTUS!

I'm sure it's not far away - maybe Twitter will help usher cameras into the courtroom!
