Supreme Court Watch
Here are the blogs dedicated to covering and/or influencing the debate over judicial nominees, particularly the replacement for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
-- Bush v. Choice (published by the National Abortion Rights Action League)
-- Confirm Them (published by RedState.org)
-- Confirmation Whoppers, a new blog whose aim is to "document each day's wildest, most irresponsible quotes in the Supreme Court confirmation process, whether it's from a senator or special-interest groups."
-- Daily Blog (published by The Committee for Justice)
-- The Daly Report (published by the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary)
-- NominationWatch (published by the National Women's Law Center)
-- The Supreme Court Nomination Blog (published by SCOTUSblog)
Here are other policy blogs that are following the nomination but that are not dedicated exclusively to that issue:
-- ACSBlog (published by the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy)
-- Bench Memos (published by National Review Online)
-- Inside Opinions: Legal Blogs (published by Law.com)
I will be updating the lists as new blogs are created or as I hear of ones that I missed. So please send tips.
UPDATE: Rick Hasen of Election Law is covering the confirmation process with a particular focus on how a new justice could impact election law. In his article for The New Republic Online, summarized at his blog, Hasen argues that O'Connor's departure could "lead to both the deregulation of campaign financing and a serious challenge to major parts of the Voting Rights Act. Such changes would, in turn, mean radical shifts in the way elections are conducted in the United States."
UPDATE II: The Washington Post is blogging the Supreme Court battle, too. Its latest foray into the blogosphere, and arguably the newspaper's boldest blogging experiment on the policy front considering that comments are allowed, is dubbed Campaign for the Supreme Court.
