I've been thrilling to these on Slate, too - what a treat. They always have good Supreme Court coverage too. Or at least, it’s entertaining without seeming to dumb stuff down (at least, speaking as someone who knows nothing about what makes good or bad legal coverage).
My new favorite part of this has been the addition of Jim DeRogatis as a supporting character. I don’t know about other FOTs, but I can’t stand that guy. Hearing about his obnoxious performance on the stand made me smile this morning. I’ll admit to getting a little tingly with excitement earlier this week when there was talk about swearing out a warrant for his arrest. His whole schtick playing the besieged reporter defending his rights seems more than a little silly, especially, as the article points out, after publishing all of that potentially-source-revealing info in the Sun Times anyway.
I forget who says it or where it comes up, but I also enjoyed the revelation that R Kelly allegedly carries a duffel bag full of his own sex tapes around with him everywhere he goes.
Seriously - R Kelly is going to go to prison for child pornography.
