These are the people's courts, afterall. And the interest in this is off the charts. It affects over 2.3 million federal workers, and perhaps hundreds of millions of US citizens who derive funding sources from federal programs of one kind or another. Here's the order, just entered in the (federal) District of Columbia trial court:
. . .MINUTE ORDER:
The court will provide access for the public to telephonically attend the hearing on the motion for a temporary restraining order, scheduled for February 3, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. The hearing can be accessed by dialing the Toll Free Number: 833-990-9400 (Meeting ID: 715234770).
It is hereby ORDERED that the attendees using the public access telephone line shall adhere to the following: persons remotely accessing court proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting any court proceedings (including those held by telephone or videoconference). Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court-issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the presiding Judge. . . .
Signed by Judge Loren L. AliKhan on 1/31/2025. . . .
Obviously, live-blogging is not a "rebroadcast." See, Amendment, First.
And we will. . . live blog. Onward. Out for now.
