More multimedia stuff on courts: Oyez Beta

It's been around for a while, but if you haven't done so, take some time to play with the new beta version of oyez.org. They have some fascinating media: interviews with Justices Blackmun and Douglas, besides the ever fascinating oral arguments... Also, check out the new feature of their case summaries (thanks to Bob Roberts for pointing me to it) that lets you view the justices' decision lineup by seniority and ideology (they use Martin/Quinn ideal point scores to estimate justice ideology). Just go to any case record and you'll see (if you don't use a linux computer with an old version of firefox that's missing whatever plugins you need, as I am doing right now, blagh).
