Quick tour around the blogsphere

A relatively quiet afternoon means time to find and read some blog posts of note:

• Grits for Breakfast has collected links here to a “slew of sentencing reform bills in play at the Texas Legislature.”

• SCOTUSblog has collected links here to all the of briefs in the prison/religion case, Cutter v. Wilkinson, to be argued next Monday in the Supreme Court.

• From the Booker world, the Third Circuit Blog has this post spotlighting how broad the Third Circuit’s remand approach extends and the Defense Newsletter Blog has this post detailing how the Eleventh Circuit in US v. Frye had to amend its opinion to rely on an appeal waiver rather than the defendant’s admission to affirm a sentence with potential Blakely/Booker problems.
