OUR BIGGEST CROP
The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world's population but almost a quarter of its prisoners. Americans are locked up for crimes that would rarely produce prison sentences in other countries. And in particular they are kept incarcerated far longer than prisoners in other nations.

IRIZARRY ORAL ARGUMENT TRANSCRIPT
Just to give you an idea of how big a deal it is to have argued before the US Supreme Court, here - one day later - is the court's release of the oral argument transcript.


MUGGLES BATTLE IN COURT
The librarian at the heart of the Harry Potter copyright-infringement lawsuit stood up to J. K. Rowling on Tuesday in a Manhattan courtroom, and then broke down sobbing. On the witness stand, librarian Steven Jan Vander Ark portrayed the famous writer as his idol, who had been unaccountably bewitched by the evil, money-grubbing forces of publishing, like one of Voldemort's vassals. Portfolio: The issue has become something of a personal crusade for Rowling, who traveled from Scotland to testify in person and said the lawsuit has decimated her creative work over the past months.

IRIZARRY ARGUMENT PREVIEW ON NPR
Listen to this NPR report on Arthur Madden's argument before the US Supreme Court on Tuesday in a case involving whether a judge must notify the defense if he deviates from the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. A pre-sentence report recommended a sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison for a California man who pleaded guilty to threatening his wife. Without notifying defense counsel, the judge rejected the recommendation and instead sentenced the man to the maximum penalty of five years in prison.

JUSTICE LAWYERS EYED
The Justice Department is investigating the lawyers whose memos gave the Bush Administration the legal support it needed for waterboarding and other brutal interrogation techniques. We are "examining whether the legal advice in these memoranda was consistent with the professional standards that apply to Department of Justice attorneys," H. Marshall Jarrett, counsel for the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, wrote to two Democratic senators in February.

IS YOUR POCKET LEAKING?
Your digital secrets are leaking merrily from the cards in your wallet, like sound from a radio that you can't turn off. Your employee ID/building access card, your automatic highway toll pass, the newest wave of credit cards and gas purchasing cards, even digital drivers' licenses being developed in some states - all of these nifty and oh-so-convenient bits of plastic employ versions of what's known as radio frequency identification technology, or RFID - toss out bits of data that are caught by receivers, with little or no contact, just through the air in some cases.

STATES MAINTAIN SPY SYSTEMS TOO
Intelligence "Fusion Centers" run by states across the country have access to personal information about millions of Americans, including unlisted cellphone numbers, insurance claims, driver's license photographs and credit reports. One such center has access to top-secret data systems at the CIA, although it's not clear what information those systems contain.

11th CIRCUIT HEARS NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SUIT
Lawyers for National Geographic were in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta late last week to argue what they have been arguing for years: that the Complete National Geographic, a pioneering CD-ROM project the magazine released in 1997, does not violate the intellectual property rights of freelance photographers whose work first appeared in print.

CERT GRANTED IN IRIZARRY
We have just been notified by the United States Supreme Court that cert has been granted in Irizarry v United States, a direct appeal filed by Arthur Madden. Irizarry objected to the court's upward departure without notice as required by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The district court overruled this objection, saying it believed the rule had been vacated by the holding in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005) that the guidelines were now just advisory. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued an opinion on August 1, 2006, affirming Petitioner's sentence. The decision of the Circuit Court is reported as United States v. Irizarry, 458 F.3d 1208 (11th Cir. 2006).


SECRET PROCESS IS WRONG
Murat Kurnaz is a free man today after having spent nearly five years in the Guantanamo Bay prison camp as a wrongly suspected terrorist. His hard-earned freedom represents what even the administration's supporters concede is a strong argument against the legal policies now being challenged for the third time before the Supreme Court.
