Future of the supreme court?

a good article on FindLaw here on the potential effect of the upcoming election on the makeup of the US Supreme Court.

definitely food for thought, considering the direction the court has moved in the past few years, especially with Bush II's appointments. . .

ahoy

Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I posted here. Sorry I have been quiet lately, between moot court and those other classes I'm taking, I've been rather busy lately. The rest of the term is shaping up to be rather crazy. Moot court competition starts this weekend, and if we advance it will continue for at least one more week. I also have to prepare for finals in my other three classes, but I still have almost a month to do that. At any rate, my life has been rather wacky lately, so I haven't had too much time to pontificate. Rest assured, however, that more will follow.

Thank you, Justice Breyer

Ever since the Supremes decided to overturn Seattle's school choice program, I've been rather too angry to post anything coherent. Thanks to Justice Breyer, now I don't have to. He summarizes his dissent here, and explains why this may in fact be one of the worst decisions in recent memory.

Thank you, Justice Breyer. I couldn't have said it better myself.
