Link of the Day: the Supreme Court

When I saw this article on the New Yorker's webpage this morning I couldn't help but read it straight through, paying strict attention to the cartoon of course. The story chronicles a day in court with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and her contributions to judicial questioning. Given the lack of high profile cases, some might forget that the Supreme Court is, indeed, in session. It's nice to see reporting on such an interesting topic- a case against a man who sold videos of pit bulls on his webpage that evidently showed animal cruelty. The odd part of the case is really the federal law that prohibits such footage in the first place and it's general vagueness. I am anxious to see how Justice Sotomayor responds in the final verdict. (disclaimer: I in no way find animal cruelty interesting).
