Blog Round-Up – Saturday, May 6th

Election Law Blog has this post on the en banc Second Circuit decision holding that New York’s felon disenfranchisement law does not violate Section 2 of Voting Rights Act. The post discusses the potential for the issue to reach the Supreme Court.

The Volokh Conspiracy has this post on Daubert and certain courts’ refusal to apply Federal Rule of Evidence 702.

ACSBlog has this post titled, “Allegations of Impropriety Alleged Against Judicial Nominees.”

ACSBlog also has this post on the Supreme Court’s denying cert on Monday from a case holding that anti-choice activists who created “wanted” posters to identify clinic doctors should pay $5 million in damages.

Note: ACSBlog previously reported that the Supreme Court ruled on this case, and this post inadvertently repeated the error. Both posts have now been corrected.

The American Conference Institute conference on The Supreme Court Business Docket will be on July 10 and 11th, not June 10th as previously blogged. Details on the event can be found here.
