In last week's news coverage, two circuit courts stood out: the Second Circuit, rejecting the FCC's indecency policy, as well as the DC Circuit (and the Supreme Court, in turn), ruling and receiving filings in detainee cases. Second Circuit news also included an interesting grab bag of topics, from state campaign finance to Chevron's dispute with a filmmaker, from No Child Left Behind to cigars, and more. Meanwhile, Third Circuit reporting highlighted an ERISA/bankruptcy decision, called "a huge win for labor" and a sharp departure from the previous trend. Outlets covered Fourth and Sixth Circuit cases addressing the First Amendment, in relation to airport sales of newspapers and judicial elections, respectively, while Seventh Circuit news showcased an Easterbrook/Posner disagreement as to the anonymity of the Blagojevich jurors.
