<p>At a time when聽pretty much anyone, anywhere, can instantly聽share聽a photo, live-stream a video, or tweet, it鈥檚 sort of weird to see sneaker-clad interns clutching paper and dashing in front of聽marble columns so fellow Americans can, finally, hear the news.</p><p>Which is exactly what happened this morning and on聽countless other聽mornings聽following major <a href="http://www.liashop.net/lp/supreme-bags-829b2a68/">Supreme 浠h喘</a>鍜宻upreme Court decisions.</p>

<p></p>
<p>In the 21st century, it turns out,聽landmark rulings from the highest court in the land on issues that affect millions of Americans in crucial aspects of their lives like marriage, health insurance, and housing聽discrimination still come first on paper.</p>
<p>Yes, this anachronism gives us the chance to cheer the Running of the Interns. (Thanks guys!)聽But this is聽2015. Proceedings of the legislative and executive branches of government, from the federal level to city councils, are viewable on聽C-SPAN or streamed live online. Major announcements from federal agencies tend to come in the form of publicly released press statements available to all. So what gives?</p>
<p>Yes #RunningoftheInterns is great, but can t SCOTUS just do a lock-up like @BLS_gov does w/job numbers? 鈥?GarrisonMark (@GarrisonMark) June 25, 2015</p>
<p>Turns out that there are a few things going on here and the Supreme Court is not solely to blame.</p>
<p>Firstly, and crucially, the Supreme Court does, in fact, upload its opinions聽online within minutes after the bench opinions are issued 聽on its very own website, so anyone at home hoping to read Court decisions can check them聽out the two rulings from this morning on health insurance subsidies and fair housing, for example, have already been posted.</p>
<p>However, these decisions don t go up on the web right away. In the meantime, as soon as the Supreme Court announces that a particular ruling is coming down, a paper copy of the decision is handed to network interns waiting outside its public information office. These interns then run to deliver these paper copies聽to their news organizations waiting outside.</p>
<p>Television networks, hoping to be the first to break the news that everyone will soon know, depend on these runners to get the decisions into the hands of anxious producers waiting to go live. By the time the interns head back inside after the hand-off, ABC News intern Allie Kessel, who is featured in the video above, tells WIRED, the justices may still be announcing the decision in the courtroom itself.</p>
<p>Since all recording devices are banned in the courtroom, and the decisions don t go up online until the justices are done, paper copies remain the fastest way for news organizations to get the news out. </p>
<p>@ktullymcmanus @CQnow @DaisyBuddysMom #runningoftheinterns I kinda love that this is a thing, but jfc we live in 2015. Cell phones. #SCOTUS 鈥?Fingertip K (@kevins_fingers) June 25, 2015</p>
<p></p>
<p>So why doesn t the Supreme Court just share its decisions with the world itself? Live-stream the proceedings. Tweet out the decision. Send a Snap. Email it to all Americans everywhere. We re kidding, sort of. But seriously, why not?</p>
<p>The way SCOTUS releases decision is fun and makes for suspense, but also totally ridiculous for a public institution in 2015.</p>
<p>鈥?Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) June 25, 2015</p>
<p></p>
<p>Earlier this week, sixteen members of Congress聽sent a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts asking these very questions and arguing for more transparency from the Court.聽 People may disagree on the outcome of any given case, but we can all agree that the American public is better served when all three branches of our government are transparent and accessible, 聽the senators and congressmen聽who signed the letter argued.</p>
<p>While the court does offer same-day transcripts and audio recordings by the end of the week, the letter signers say聽that since the technical capabilities exist, the Supreme Court has an obligation to be more transparent. (A spokesperson for the Supreme Court did not respond to WIRED s request for comment.)</p>
<p>This is not the first time members of Congress have tried to change the ways of the court. But Tony Mauro at the National Law Journal (h/t Slate)聽writes that the lack of a live broadcast may have to do with both the way decision proceedings are聽held and聽the personalities of the justices themselves.</p>
<p> Release of opinion announcements is an especially prickly issue with the justices, Mauro writes. The announcements are summaries written by the justice who wrote the majority, and the other justices in the majority don鈥檛 sign off on the wording. </p>
<p>He says current and former justices have told him that they are sometimes surprised by the language used in the summaries from the bench, which may overstate or oversimplify the holding in ways they don鈥檛 approve. Therefore, they d rather have the actual decisions be distributed widely rather than appear to support the individual choice of words of the justice who actually gets to talk.聽</p>
<p>Tradition, ultimately, plays its role too. For the Supreme Court, where procedure rules, this is how it s done. And, for news networks, with the ceaseless demands聽of a聽competitive聽24-hour news cycle, it means making interns run.聽There are still some things the Internet can t change. </p>
<p>Questionably the best part about working in Washington and covering #SCOTUS is covering the running of the interns. pic.twitter.com/we3eMPj7xB 鈥?Al Drago (@Al_Drago) June 25, 2015</p>
