You’ll definitely want to check out some of the latest posts at our partner blog Supreme Court Extra:
Brad Joondeph writes of his experience having John Roberts as a “mentor” during a summer associateship at Roberts’ former firm, Hogan & Hartson. (Joondeph explains why he has “nothing but a profound sense of respect for John Roberts” and why Roberts “could ultimately be a progressive’s worst case scenario.”)
David Franklin, who clerked for Justice Ginsberg, ponders the immediate difference that Roberts’ confirmation will make to the landscape of constitutional law.
And American Progress’s Robert Gordon, the blog’s lead organizer, explains why Justice Scalia’s writings read “like a brief for Democrats like Chuck Schumer who are eager to press Judge Roberts on his views.”
(Congratulations are in order for the SCExtra contributors. The blog has already received some very positive reviews since its launch on Monday.)

So I guess you’re letting W slide on the DSM. More fun playing with the box (Rove/Plame) than what came in it…ie the impeachable crime of lying US into an illegal war.
Everybody wants to play in the box.

Plame’s Identity Marked As Secret
Memo Central to Probe Of Leak Was Written By State Dept. Analyst
By Walter Pincus and Jim VandeHei
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, July 21, 2005; A01
A classified State Department memorandum central to a federal leak investigation contained information about CIA officer Valerie Plame in a paragraph marked “(S)” for secret, a clear indication that any Bush administration official who read it should have been aware the information was classified, according to current and former government officials.
Plame — who is referred to by her married name, Valerie Wilson, in the memo — is mentioned in the second paragraph of the three-page document, which was written on June 10, 2003, by an analyst in the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), according to a source who described the memo to The Washington Post.
The paragraph identifying her as the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV was clearly marked to show that it contained classified material at the “secret” level, two sources said. The CIA classifies as “secret” the names of officers whose identities are covert, according to former senior agency officials.
