		<title>A Notable Milestone for Justice Thomas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, February 22, 2010, marks the four-year anniversary of the last time Justice Thomas asked a question during oral arguments. His silence from the bench is well-document and has been discussed by commentators (including myself) quite a bit. Today, Tony Mauro has a few interesting tidbits to add in his article in the NLJ.

		<title>Is the Court Falling Behind?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Court has been criticized for releasing only four opinion going into the winter break and Linda Greenhouse even suggested that internal wrangling over Citizens United may have &#8220;sucked the air out of the term.&#8221; Maybe so, but the Court has done nothing publicly to suggest that this term is progressing differently from any other.

		<title>A Walk Down Memory Lane</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Court sat for its traditional &#8220;class photo&#8221; yesterday, to the apparent amusement of less than half the members of the current Court.

You can also find a video taken at the loosely termed &#8220;photo shoot&#8221; here. I should note that the Court released a few different photos from the shoot and in all of them, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Correction:</title>

In fact, the Washington Post and Above the Law are now reporting that General Kagan chose a black suit with a light blue blouse with which to disgrace [...]]]></description>

General Kagan opted not to wear the traditional grey morning coat that male Solicitors General wear. Instead, according to the WSJ Law Blog, she wore a blue pants suit. Of course, the writing was on the wall.
Additionally, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Initial Thoughts on Rearguments in Citizens United</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To sum up my views on the oral arguments today: we saw it coming. Justice Sotomayor lined up in exactly the position she was expected take and the same goes for each of the other eight Justices. In the end, it looks like her position will be a minority one.
Solicitor General Kagan did a fantastic [...]]]></description>

The fact that I&#8217;m reading Between Law &#038; Politics, Richard Pacelle&#8217;s fascinating look into the world of the Solicitor General, didn&#8217;t hurt either.
Before I go any further, I should clarify [...]]]></description>

		<title>NY Times Story about Ted Olson and Same-Sex Marriage</title>

The article does note however, that Olson has won 44 out of [...]]]></description>
