Thanks that would be great. Property rights, environmental law, corporations, etc, are areas where there have been surprizingly good but also alarming decisions coming down and it is difficult to put it all together.

What is missing for me in the SCOTUS blog is the context. About of a quarter of a good US economic history text is basically a Cliff Notes intro to SCOTUS decisions, and without that I am helpless.

Thanks so much for pointing out the Consitutional Accountability Center. That is a great resource that I did not know about until now.

If I find anything specifically on that topic for you that I think is a good nutshell, I’ll post a link in this thread. It’s been a wee bit crazy at our house, so I’m way behind in my Sotomayor analysis writing, or I’d be able to point you to one of my own. Sorry about that!

Thanks, Christy. I have tried to read the SCOTUS blog, but for some legal topics, SCOTUS blog is too high level for me! I need something written in regular English. I will try again, they might have a new post up that is more introductory level in those areas.

Also, thanks to Doug for the vist, it has been very informative

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinions. If you like cookies, I just took some snickerdoodles out of the oven.
And, boy, do we have a lot of work to do if we are committed to (re-)claiming the Constitution as our foundation.

The Mainstream Media is setting the stage for the repeal of the voting rights act. Recent polling data promoted by the MSM indicates that a majority of Americans favor repealing affirmative action. Glenn Beck, Hannity, Oreally, Limbagh and Boortz are still having a great effect on their followers.

SCOTUSblog, for one, has been doing an extensive case by case look at her record, including a number of civil opinions.
