Thoughtful commentary on Black decision

UC Hastings law professor Vikram David Amar now has this terrific (and lengthy) commentary on FindLaw discussing the California Supreme Court’s big Blakely decision earlier this week in Black (basics here, commentary here).  I won’t try to summarize Vik’s many insights, but I will highlight his astute closing sentence:

It will be quite interesting to see whether the U.S. Supreme Court feels the need to accept review in yet another one of these cases, assuming Mr. Black files a petition for that Court’s review.
