In earlier posts that you can access here and here, I provided links to the video and transcripts of the previously aired segments of this broadcast.
“Restoring judicial restraint: Running roughshod over GOP precedents would only diminish court’s moral authority.” This interesting editorial appears today in The Detroit Free Press.
“Bergen Record case could hold fate of how courts are covered”: The Cliffview Pilot web site has a report today that begins, “The state Supreme Court this week could well determine the future of media in New Jersey when it reviews a lower court ruling that the Bergen Record can be sued for reporting allegations from a lawsuit before the case has gone to trial.”
In earlier coverage, The Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger reported on January 14, 2009 that “N.J. newspaper wins round in lawsuit-libel case.”
“Justice in gun case ruling is a gun dealer; Some legal scholars cry foul, while others say ruling’s relevance too narrow to present any conflict of interest”: The Charlotte Observer today contains an article that begins, “The N.C. Supreme Court drew national attention a few weeks ago as the country’s first court to rule that a convicted felon has a right to own a gun. What got little notice is that Edward Thomas Brady, the justice who wrote the 5-2 decision in August, is a federally licensed gun dealer and gun maker who has earned more than $5,000 a year from gun sales since 2007.”
And The Associated Press reports that “Justice in gun case sells weapons.”
