Sunday, October 11, 2009 C-SPAN's "Supreme Court Week" has posted online the video and transcripts of its interviews with the other two active U.S. Supreme Court Justices: The following video clips and transcripts are now available online -- Originally aired Sunday, October 11, 2009: Interview with Chief Justice Roberts -- Video | Transcript; and Interview with Justice Stevens -- Video | Transcript. In earlier posts that you can access here and here, I provided links to the video and transcripts of the previously aired segments of this broadcast. "Restoring judicial restraint: Running roughshod over GOP precedents would only diminish court's moral authority." This interesting editorial appears today in The Detroit Free Press. Posted at 03:48 PM by Howard Bashman "Bergen Record case could hold fate of how courts are covered": The Cliffview Pilot web site has a report today that begins, "The state Supreme Court this week could well determine the future of media in New Jersey when it reviews a lower court ruling that the Bergen Record can be sued for reporting allegations from a lawsuit before the case has gone to trial." In earlier coverage, The Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger reported on January 14, 2009 that "N.J. newspaper wins round in lawsuit-libel case." "Justice in gun case ruling is a gun dealer; Some legal scholars cry foul, while others say ruling's relevance too narrow to present any conflict of interest": The Charlotte Observer today contains an article that begins, "The N.C. Supreme Court drew national attention a few weeks ago as the country's first court to rule that a convicted felon has a right to own a gun. What got little notice is that Edward Thomas Brady, the justice who wrote the 5-2 decision in August, is a federally licensed gun dealer and gun maker who has earned more than $5,000 a year from gun sales since 2007." And The Associated Press reports that "Justice in gun case sells weapons." You can access the ruling -- which the Supreme Court of North Carolina issued on August 28, 2009 -- at this link. "Cruelty in the Court: Crush videos and foie gras." Columnist George F. Will will have this essay in the October 19, 2009 issue of Newsweek.
