No sadly CSPAN is not. The agreement allows the Speaker of the House to decide when to shut the cameras of if memory serves and she ordered them off.
Thanks for the answer.
I thought the whole point of C-Span was a Gubmint public service for the 5 undecided citizens in the population of the unwashed masses to know what the bourgeious ruling elite were doing.
So I guess it is up to the internet to tell them instead of TV.
