Prop 8 Trial Won't Be Televised

I understand why the theocon right doesn't want its patently shallow arguments broadcast around the world. But the Supreme Court seems to have decided this  (PDF) on a technicality:

We are asked to stay the broadcast of a federal trial. We resolve that question without expressing any view on whether such trials should be broadcast. We instead determine that the broadcast in this case should be stayed because it appears the courts below did not follow the appropriate procedures set forth in federal law before changing their rules to allow such broadcasting. Courts enforce the requirement of procedural regularity on oth- ers, and must follow those requirements themselves.
