Helpful accounts of Shepard

I have tried my best to summarize the impact of the Supreme Court’s opaque work today in Shepard v. US in this post.  Helping to add light are astute accounts of Shepard here from the AP and here from the Second Circuit Blog.  (UPDATE: And here are a New York Times account, a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette account and a Wall Street Journal account of Shepard.)

In addition, I think the questons posed here by my colleague Alan Michaels help spotlight the craziness that is Shepard.  (And, in a future post, I hope to set forth a set of post-Shepard questions rattling in my brain this evening.)
