A fan page for Dahlia Lithwick, the rockingest Supreme Court columnist ever ever ever.
A confession?
I have a crush. On a woman I would not be able to identify, even if she were selling aquarium filters door-to-door. Which she wouldn't be, by the way. Because she's wonderful.
You may know her. Her name is Dahlia Lithwick, and our acquaintance has spanned three cities, three apartments and two houses, three jobs, and countless emocore albums. In a perpetually changing universe, her sweet, unerring "Dahlia Lithwick is a Slate senior editor" has been one of only a handful of fixed stars. No matter what case I am working on, what legal argument I am putting together, in the background there is always Dahlia.
This is for her.

from the dispatches
Mock and Announce: How long does it take to flush the 9th Circuit down the toilet? (Though there's a mistake in there---the judge sitting by designation on the Ninth Circuit panel was from the Fifth Circuit, not the Sixth. But hey, one can't be perfect, right?)

dahlia's supreme court dispatches are back!
With Junkie Justice: Are drug addicts covered under the ADA? One amusing line (about Justice Scalia): "It takes a brave man to screw the little guy, but it takes a braver one to tell him that he's totally immaterial to the case he's brought."
