Supreme Court secretly recorded on camera

http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/27/politics/supreme-court-video/

(CNN) -- In an apparent first at the tradition-minded Supreme Court, an advocacy group surreptitiously recorded video of an oral argument that was interrupted by a spectator.

The group 99Rise.org, which supports campaign finance reform, posted the video of Wednesday's proceedings on YouTube as part of a protest over the issue.

No electronic devices, or still or video cameras are permitted in the court's public sessions.

All spectators, including members of the media, are screened with magnetometers at the entrance to the ornate courtroom.
