The best source - I would say the only source - for up-to-the-minute reporting and analysis of Supreme Court cases is SCOTUSblog at http://www.scotusblog.com/. "SCOTUS" is the Associated Press' abbreviation for the Supreme Court of the United States, and Lyle Denniston, who covers high-profile cases for the blog, is arguably the best legal analyst in the business. He isn't a lawyer, by the way. He's an old courthouse reporter.
(So am I, but who's to say I'm biased?)
A close second is Dahlia Lithwick, of Slate.com. Click here for her analysis "It’s Not About the Law, Stupid."

About Me
- Pete
- Springfield (Ill.), United States
- I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
