Conspiracy implies immoral or illegal activities that are transgressed through team effort.

True liberalism is a deliberation on morals from every individual and group perspective. It seeks to progress our society through deliberation on social issues.

It's a federal court trial that could have an effect on state laws around the country, and eventually, the U.S. Supreme Court. Considering the unimportant fare that is broadcast on C-SPAN every day, I think this trial merits national attention.

My first thought was, why YouTube? What does YT have to do with these proceedings? Wouldn't a more appropriate platform be C-Span, or local news outlets? I don't know, but I think the platform should appeal to all in the state, not just the younger crowd that frequents YT.

This seems like a decent compromise between those who wanted the trial televised and witnesses for Prop. 8 who wanted to hide their faces from the public.
I wish that ALL trials were televised on the Internet and available for public consumption. I don't see anything wrong with that. I would also like to see the final stages of the healthcare bill debate broadcast on C-SPAN, so I voted YES. As a side note I think that Republicans (I'm a conservative, but not a Republican) should focus on things like fiscal conservancy and quit focusing on all of the social issues. This is one of the reasons that the Republicans (who are as immoral as anyone else while preaching the opposite) have suffered at the polls in recent years.

There shouldn't have been any compromise, at all. The people need to see this in real time, not an (possibly) edited version on YouTube.

Yeah, that would have been my preference, but the YouTube video is better than nothing at all.

Youtube is merely a sign of the times, something these flat earth types don't' seem to understand. I'd be they are still watching MTV waiting to see a music video too.

Since you're on the internet you can go to youtube and check out. Welcome to the 21st century.

Guess what, I don't have cable. Maybe the trials shouldn't go only to a rich audience that can afford those luxuries.

FYI I live in CA so this actually effects me. Since you live in IL why do you even care?
