Oyez has archived Judge Alito’s oral argument in FCC v League of Women Voters. Here is the audio link.
Concurring Opinions has this post on the fact that a judge’s past judicial record is not necessarily a good indication of how they’ll decide cases as a Supreme Court justice.
The Bankruptcy Litigation Blog has this post the October 31st oral argument in Central Va. Community College v. Katz.
PrawfsBlawg has this post commenting on this op-ed by Vik Amar on Judge Alito’s one person-one vote jurisprudence. Election Law Blog comments on Alito and voting rights cases here. The post posits that voting cases could shape the debate over Alito.
Update:
The First Amendment Center has this analysis on Judge Alito and the current Justices’ First Amendment jurisprudence. The post posits that while in the past the Justices who championed freedom of expression were liberal — e.g., Louis Brandeis, Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, and William J. Brennan Jr., with increasing frequency, the cause is being embraced more by conservative jurists than by liberal ones.
