When I first started thinking about and planning TPMCafe, one of the things I wanted to do was to be able to set up limited duration blogs to cover particular events — sort of like we did with our Bankruptcy Bill blog. Now, in time for all the fun, we’ve just launched our Supreme Court Watch blog. The posts will also be cross-posted to the site’s front page since this will be a regular topic of conversation with our regulars over the coming weeks. So you’ll be able to read it there too.
We’ll be adding a few more names to the list over the coming days. But we launched overnight with Professors Jack Balkin and Robert Gordon of Yale and Professor Peter Rubin of Georgetown. Rubin is also a founder of the American Constitution Society, whose staff we’ve worked with in assembling our group. Take a moment to check out their site and their organization blog. ACS, as we discussed a couple months ago, has set out to become a progressive counterweight to the highly influential Federalist Society on the right.
Robert Gordon put up his first post yesterday evening, giving an overview of the Roberts nomination here. We’re also going to be adding a Supreme Court selection discussion table later this afternoon.
