One of my favorite things about the blawgosphere is how quickly it tackles, with analysis and commentary, important decisions.
To wit, the blawgosphere is already starting to hum with yesterday's Sixth Circuit's decision in Warshak v. United States of America (link to decision in pdf).
Orin Kerr at The Volokh Conspiracy jumped in last night: A Series of Posts on Warshak v. United States, the E-Mail Privacy Case:
Today's Fourth Amendment decision in Warshak v. United States is astonishing on a number of fronts. If it stands on the books, it will revolutionize the way that Fourth Amendment challenges are brought; it will constitutionalize an area of law long thought to be statutory, invalidating some statutes along the way; and it will create the rather surprising result that Fourth Amendment protections are actually significantly stronger online than in the physical world.
You can be sure lots of other will follow. Stay abreast of the commentary at this predefined search of the blawgosphere, or just check your favorite sources and blawgs. Something tells me there will be lots of coverage.
