Briefly:

• In her column for The New York Times, Linda Greenhouse contends that the contraceptive mandate cases, in which the Court granted review earlier this week, “open a new front in an old war” – “a war not on religion or on women but on modernity.”
• At The Volokh Conspiracy, Randy Barnett discusses the amicus brief recently filed on behalf of originalist scholars (a group in which he is included) in NLRB v. Noel Canning, the challenge to the president’s recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.
