hey folks,
i'm trying to put together a list of awesome blogs and bloggers who talk about the legal rights of ordinary americans, through the lenses of governmental abuse of power and corporate privilege (um, can someone say fisa?)
i'm especially interested in identifying the dailykos bloggers who focus on this. below is the list i've got, and why i'm doing this. please help me out! thanks!
why i'm doing this:
because right now we're so engaged civically around protecting our legal rights, our constitution, about holding government accountable for trampling upon our rights and safety, and about holding corporations accountable for prioritizing profits over people. riding the wave of this energy, i'm working on a tool to harness all of our talent and passionate advocacy into something sustainable past distinct events so that it turns into a larger civil justice bloggers' platform.
so, here's what i got so far, and if you can offer any suggestions for blogs and bloggers to add, please do.
bloggers on dailykos:
mcjoan, the guru of all things fisa
Bouldergeist
nyceve
jeff feldman
wmtrial lawyer
on other blogs:
ACSblog (American Constitution Society)
The Brennan Center for Justice
CorpReform (Justinian Lane's got some killer analysis on why this issue should matter to more than just law nerds)
Firedog Lake (shout outs to Christy Hardin Smith)
OpenLeft
MoJo Blog (Stephanie Mencimer)
The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights' Rollback Blog
The PopTort
TortBurger
And of course, yours truly's TortDeform and DMIBlog (Search for Civil Justice)
Who else, who else? Help me make my list complete! And if you know of any great blogposts that you'd like to recommend, please send them my way.
Thanks!
