MONDAY'S (SHORT) READING LIST

Still getting into the semester groove, but let me note two articles that you should read if you haven't already: Amy Goldstein's Patriot Act piece in WaPo, which gives an overview of the secrecy of the proceedings related to the law. Secrecy is one reason why it's easy for defenders of the law to claim that the law is being mischaracterized by its critics, who are then accused of playing chicken little. And take a look also at this law.com article on last week's 11th circuit self-reversal on qualified immunity for police officers.
