Just came back from How We Pick Our Judges: A View from the Inside here at the Cornell Law School. Unfortunately, my mp3 player’s battery gave out right through the panel discussion, so I lost five minutes of Eleanor Acheson.

This is the first time Leonard Leo has given an account of last year’s nominations, so his account is full of interesting tidbits.

In response to the last question on the role of blogs and Confirm Them, Leo also praised the blogosophere, saying that it was often only there that intelligent discussion on constitutional issues took place.

The first audio file is here, the second is here.
