Retired Justice William Stone passed away Saturday. The world has lost a good, kind and fair judge. The first case I ever argued in court was before Justice Stone. At the time — hard to believe it was more than a year ago now — I was intimidated not just because I was going to […]

A friend sent me a link to an article written by Daniel Klaidman, Stuart Taylor Jr. and Evan Thomas of Newsweek.

I figured I better post something up here, so people won’t think I’ve just shut down the blog. I haven’t. I’m still extremely discouraged by the fact that my log files showed an average of 250 visitors per day before I tried to move the blog to Aplus.Net hosting and now, after that fiasco which […]
