If you don't read Popehat, this might be the moment you realize it's a good idea to start. Very rarely do you see legal discussion detailed enough to be meaningful, while informal enough to hold your attention.

Other discussions of note is the bizarre sentencing of Petraeus: https://www.popehat.com/2015/03/03/a-few-comments-on-the-dav... and the way Darren Wilson's potential prosecution was evaluated: https://www.popehat.com/2015/03/04/darren-wilson-and-the-ben...

Double standards are a recurring theme, you could rightly deduce. As a largely technical crowd it might bother us as much as it bothers lawyers.
