Announcing Clerks, the Supreme Court Blog

Announcing Clerks, the Supreme Court Blog»

American Progress has launched Clerks, a partner blog of ThinkProgress dedicated entirely to Supreme Court coverage.

What sets Clerks apart from many of the other SCOTUS blogs is its writers: an esteemed group of legal thinkers, professors, litigators, and advocates, virtually all of whom clerked for Supreme Court justices in recent years. Although each blogger brings a different perspective, all write from a deep awareness of the Court’s importance and a deep concern about how a new justice could change our country.

Check out Clerks now, and spread the word.

    Misspelling in first sentence. *Supreme Count*


  2. Susan Says:

    Thats nice that you are able to get concerned educated folks to share their time with others.

    Each person who takes action helps with the progress of America.


  3. Liberal Citizen Says:

    Although I do appreciate comments with different points of view, let’s keep this a sensible forum, and not turn it into an arena of pointless personal attacks, off-topic issues, and blabbering inchoherence.
    I hope there are some moderators who can maintain such standards for this blog.

    All of us can learn something from this, if we all contribute thoughtful comments and not turn it into a brawl, like so many posts on the thinkprogress blog.
    Thank you.


  4. Ed Says:

    Its nice to have a place to openly discuss what could be but what difference is it going to make anyway? Bush will nominate who he wants and the Senate can do one of two things, confirm the appointment or the democratic senators can break from the agreement and filibuster. After which, the nuclear option will be used and the nominee will be confirmed to the court.


  5. Susan Says:

    Yes Ed, and right after that Bushie will be impeached and this country will heal and flourish.


  6. Andros Says:

    Ed,
    I don’t know about you, but I do get excited about ideas, learning something worthwhile, and being informed about a very important issue. Obviously, we are not dealing from a position of power in this case, but, not discussing an important matter simply because we can’t control its outcome today, is not a good approach to life in general.
    I also suspect that some people here are in position to influence/educate others and would benefit from a forum like this.


  7. KillCon2005 Says:

    Do you like your right to privacy, Ed. Or do you think the right to privacy is unconstitutional? If you think is is unconstitutional, just give up now, because Bush conservatives agree with you and will remove it from you as soon as the rest of us take your attitude..


  8. Susan Says:

    Jack Ryan (former Republican IL.U.S. Senate candidate) would like to keep our right to privacy intact.

    When his visits to sex clubs were made public it ruined his political career. Yep, his own party turned on him.

    Please allow me to introduce Barack Obama to the Senate!

    Clerks? Yowza! I love Kevin Smith!

    (And yes, personal attacks should be pointy.)


  10. Now That's Progress Says:

    Look! Over There! A Supreme Court Nominee!

    Think Progress confirms that the distraction strategy is in full force, also announces a timely new site dedicated solely to Supreme Court coverage.

    * iddybud says “stifle it” to either Edith when it comes to their joining the Supreme Court.
