It’s extraordinary how much attention the Hamdan petition has been getting as it has been relisted by the Court. I don’t ever remember seeing a case continue to get this kind of attention at such a late stage. Some new pieces and posts are here on Balkanization (linking it to the Miers resigantion), here on Slate, and here in the Yale Daily News.
