Baudewatch:
A long time ago I got to know a guy via a mailing list. That guy grew up to be UChicago professor Jacob Levy. Levy had a student, Will Baude, who was a topnotch blogger and seemed like he might be headed for some kind of career of distinction. Then came Yale, clerking for Roberts, professor at UChicago, joining the Volokh Conspiracy, and now a New York Times op/ed.

He writes about the strange case of the man who was executed even though the court had decided to hear his appeal. It reminds him, of course, of the Texas election where the Supreme Court allowed officials to steal the votes of those without ID, even though voter ID had been found unconstitutional.
