• Justice Ginsburg: TV has made Supreme Court confirmation hearings much longer because senators posture for cameras. (WaPo)

(NLJ)
  
  
• LawProf Ilya Somin cautions against issue conflation in the debate over the “Ground Zero Mosque.” (Volokh Conspiracy)
  
  
• (True?) Tales from Brooklyn: “The bar is over. Law school is over. Everyone else is off on their post-bar vacations: Bali, Greece, Miami, Kentucky. I click through some photo albums on Facebook: happy faces and landmarks … The destination matters less than being some place else before the unemployment depression kicks in.” (The Awl)
