I'm a little too busy so far this week to do any substantive blogging. So here's a handful of items in a newsy legal vein appearing in the legal news aggregator this morning:

Here's the new Arizona immigration law everyone has an opinion about. Feel free to share yours.

I thought this was interesting: The defendants in the Michigan militia case (the "Hutaree militia") were allowed to question an FBI agent in court who, it turned out, wasn't able to recall much in the way of incriminating information; and a recording played in court alleged to contain conversations among defendants discussing killing police officers apparently didn't.

In a First Amendment vein, "The Supreme Court said Wednesday that a lower court went too far in ordering the removal of a congressionally endorsed war memorial cross from its longtime home atop a remote outcropping in California."

Also in the Supreme Court, "The [] Court seemed skeptical Wednesday of arguments by gay rights opponents that the names on a petition asking for the repeal of Washington state's domestic partnership law should be kept secret."
