WaPo Gets a Legal Blog
Say hello to Bench Conference, the brand new legal blog at the Washington Post. It is authored by Denverite and CBS News Analyst Andrew Cohen.
I've been reading Andrew's columns at CBS News and in the local Colorado papers for several years. He got his stripes covering the McVeigh trial. I didn't agree with him very often back then, but in recent years, I have noticed that he has become more sensitized to the plight of defendants and the injustices in our system and more critical of the Government. His writing style has loosened up and often packs a punch. Here's his recent column on the Moussaoui verdict. I often find myself nodding in agreement as I read his stuff.
Here's his take on Bush's warrantless NSA surveillance program and an ill-conceived proposed Congressional fix.
