Finding the laws that govern us

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:46:54 -0800

“Starting today, we’re enabling people everywhere to find and read full text legal opinions from U.S. federal and state district, appellate and supreme courts using Google Scholar. You can find these opinions by searching for cases (like Planned Parenthood v. Casey), or by topics (like desegregation) or other queries that you are interested in. For example, go to Google Scholar, click on the “Legal opinions and journals” radio button, and try the query separate but equal. Your search results will include links to cases familiar to many of us in the U.S. such as Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education, which explore the acceptablity of “separate but equal” facilities for citizens at two different points in the history of the U.S. But your results will also include opinions from cases that you might be less familiar with, but which have played an important role.”

Look out, Westlaw and Lexis…

Thank you to JDK for the link!

Well done, dudes.

Weezer: Raditude | PopMatters

Weezer: Raditude | PopMatters:

I haven’t heard Raditude yet, but I thought this was a very thoughtful review that both nailed where Weezer has gone wrong in the past few years raised questions about whether “wrong” is the appropriate characterization.

“Though, yes, Cuomo’s latter-day lyrics certainly don’t hold up to close scrutiny, are we judging them because of their one-dimensional nature, or are we judging them simply because they’re not the same kind of lyrics that Cuomo was penning in the ‘90s? In short, are we criticizing Weezer for not being Weezer anymore?”
