Our New Blog

Monday, June 6th, 2005 3:31 pm | Tom Goldstein | Print This Post

As I briefly previewed here, we’re launching a new blog today. It’s the Supreme Court Nomination Blog, and it’s available here. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, objective coverage of the Supreme Court nomination process.

Also, welcome to readers Instapundit, Volokh, How Appealing, Althouse, Balkin, Crime and Federalism, and other terrific blogs out there following the meta-blog discussion of Raich.

  1. Given the Raich-related traffic, this was a perfect day to launch it. (I realize you were already going to announce it today, so I’m not saying that you invited bloggers here as part of a cheap ploy to draw attention to you site. Rather, I’m merely congratulating you on the nice turn of events.)

    TG responds: Thanks Mike. We were really lucky. We actually planned to launch tomorrow (so as not to step on our coverage of the Court today), but the Raich opinion and Marty’s (truly unrelated) idea to do a group blog were very fortunate for us.

  2. What if the Chief (or another justice) does not retire? Should we take this launching of the blog to mean you have inside info that a retirement is indeed imminent?

    TG responds: definitely not. If no one retires, the new blog dies off into oblivion.

  3. You do a wonderful job, and these additions make your site even better (and I’m quite happy that a case on which I am counsel for respondent, Hudson v Michigan, is listed on your “likely grants” list–conference is June 16. Though I’m not the petitioner, I was counsel for the People as appellant in the case leading to all this, at least in Michigan, People v Stevens).

    Keep it up (even if you do distract me from my work!).

  4. Great blog, so far. I realize there’s only so much time in the day, but it would be nice if you could cover at least major developments on appellate judgeship nominations, which seem at least somewhat relevant to issues bearing on Supreme Court nominations — and keep the blog open on such matters if by chance there is no immediate vacancy.

    Very good idea to have a blogroll with other major websites/blogs covering Supreme Court nominations, which could help make this the one-stop-shopping place for these issues.
