Briefly:

• For this blog, Lyle reports on renovations at the Court (a topic also covered in Cormac’s round-up yesterday).
• At Forbes, Harvey Silverglate argues that “when it comes to immigrants’ rights, the outcome of Arizona v. United States” – the federal government’s challenge to the constitutionality of S.B. 1070, Arizona’s immigration law – “is less important than you think.”
• At the Wall Street Journal Law Blog, Jess Bravin reports on a recent speech in which Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the Fourth Circuit “hint[ed] that overturning Obamacare would be a mistake.”
• Jeremy Leaming of ACSblog disputes criticism of the oral advocacy by Solicitor General Don Verrilli, arguing that it is “likely meritless.”
