Judges see the power of blawgs
According to a National Law Journal article by Pamela A. MacLean, more and more Judges aer citing blawgs in their rulings...
In fact the article finds that blawgs have been cited at least 32 times in 27 different decisions over the last two years.
Perhaps the most noted was by Justice John Paul Stevens in his dissent in an important sentencing decision, U.S. v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005).
More recently, on July 31, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dissent by Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain cited commentary on law Professor Eugene Volokh's blog, "The Volokh Conspiracy," in Harper v. Poway Unified School Dist., 2006 U.S. App. Lexis 19164.
