Welcome back to work after the long weekend!
Not much going on in the Southern District of Florida. If you have any news, please email me: domarkus -- at -- hotmail dot com.
In the meantime, here's an interesting article from the weekend about Justice Scalia, "the civil libertarian" by Scott Turow. One of the money lines: "Justice Scalia, especially in the last decade, has frequently taken an expansive view of the Bill of Rights, thus supporting defendants in criminal cases."
Will Alito and Roberts follow suit?
The SDFLA Blog is dedicated to providing news and notes regarding federal practice in the Southern District of Florida. The New Times calls the blog "the definitive source on South Florida's federal court system." All tips on court happenings are welcome and will remain anonymous. Please email David Markus at dmarkus@markuslaw.com
Roberts is more likely to come down on the side of a more expansive view of the Bill of Rights, but Alito is a less likely candiadte togo for protecting the accused --or anyone else, beyond say big business.
