| Summary: | Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network (C-SPAN) was created in 1979 by the cable television industry as a public service to provide ongoing access to federal government proceedings and other public affairs programming. The tape contains the recording of the first panel discussion about the future of the U.S. Supreme Court. The panelists, moderated by Walter Dellinger (Former Solicitor General of the United States), discussed the impact of the 2004 election on the Supreme Court, the potential retirement of a number of justices, potential nominees to the Supreme Court, and cases that may be heard by the justices in future terms. The panelists included: Bert Brandenburg (Acting Executive Director, Justice at Stake Campaign), Stuart Taylor (Senior Columnist, “National Journal”), Nina Totenberg (Correspondent, National Public Radio), Lisa Brown (Acting Executive Director, American Constitution Society), and Dahlia Lithwick (Senior Editor, “Slate.com”).
