 Are there any good layman's books on personhood arguments, high-profile cases, etc.? I'm not that interested in corporate personhood, but areas like abortion, equal rights, and perhaps animal rights as well.

Has anyone read about Justice Stevens' upcoming book?
He had a good chunk excerpted on the Second Amendment in WaPo.

Scott Lemieux has written a bit about it as well.

 A database tracking the surreptitious changes to SCOTUS opinions is now available.

How the gently caress does getting in someone's face and screaming that they're a murderer and should burn in hell not constitute assault?

Like, I am not a lawyer, so please educate me. My layman's understanding of it is essentially that battery is physical violence and assault is creating the impression that someone is in physical danger, and I don't really get how "YOU DESERVE TO DIE AND BURN IN HELL" screaming in someone's face doesn't give reasonable grounds to believe you're in danger, especially considering the multiple times anti-choice folks have literally murdered pro-choice folks.
If we can't even outlaw paparazzi, then it's probably gonna require some convincing.

 Thomas's "dignity" dissent makes it sound like he agrees with Dredd Scott, jfc.

I don't think they can stall - I think Obama gets one more judge. This is yuge.

How does it change it? 'In a 5-4 decision' becomes 'in a 4-4 tie - no result'.
It will affirm lower-court decisions AFAIK.

Means Affirmative Action will survive, dunno about what the lower-court ruling on the union payment was.

 Was Goodwin Liu supposed to have been Obama's pick for SCOTUS, or would that have been something farther down the line?
