We can't believe we have to go through this again, but our hosting company says it has to move TalkLeft to another server. The move is set for Saturday night, and the company assures us they have done everything they can to make a smooth transition with no down time.

However, we all know there are glitches with moves, so if we are down, or you can't comment, or find some other problem, send us an email at talkleft@aol.com.

We will be in Washington with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers for the 40th Anniversary of Gideon commemoration and to do some lobbying with some Republican members of Congress on the Innocence Protection Act on Tuesday and Wednesday, and picked the weekend to do the switch so we'd be around if there are any crises. We will be blogging evenings and early mornings from D.C.

If you're in Washington, come to the Gideon Symposium. It is free and open to the public. You can download the brochure here. Details:
