Cameras nixed at closing of gay marriage trial

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-- A federal judge overseeing a lawsuit challenging California's same-sex marriage ban has denied a request for closing arguments to be broadcast on television or the Internet.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker issued a notice Tuesday stating the final arguments scheduled for June 16 will not be transmitted beyond the San Francisco courthouse where he is hearing the case.

1. WP reported this wrong - the judge HAS NOT yet ruled on this...

(UPDATE)As noted in the comments, the AP has updated their story and added this note at the bottom:
(This version CORRECTS Corrects to say judge has NOT ruled on media coalition request.)
What we have is a notice posted on the court’s website that there will be no video outside of the courthouse, but not a specific ruling on the Media Coalition request.
