*For the first time, video footage of U.S. Supreme Court proceedings has been recorded and posted online. The Supreme Court has always barred any type of cameras, including news media, from recording proceedings. The video shows a protester who disrupted an oral argument on Wednesday. The shaky, low-quality video, just over two minutes long, shows a brief disruption that occurred in the courtroom during an oral argument in a patent case. It also appears to show video taken at a separate oral argument, held last October 8 in a campaign-finance dispute, McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, that has yet to be decided. On Wednesday, a man stood up in the courtroom and spoke out during a patent case, objecting to the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling from 2010 that cleared the way for increased independent corporate and union spending during federal elections. The court identified him as Noah Newkirk of Los Angeles, California. He can be partially seen and heard in the video footage, which appears to have been shot by someone he was with. The video ends with the logo for a group called 99Rise, which says on its website (www.99rise.org) that its aim is to "get big money out of American politics."* Why is this video so important? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
