  Judge Strikes Down Arizona Law There will be plenty of commentary and analysis of federal Judge Susan Bolton's decision to block much of the Arizona immigration law from going into effect, but the thing it confirmed for me (not that it needed much confirmation) is what a wonderful and shrewd reporter my former Harvard Crimson and New York Sun colleague Josh Gerstein is. In a July 22 Politico blog post, Josh pretty much called the judge's decision, six days in advance of the decision's being issued. It's hard enough accurately to report the news after it happens; the skill of predicting the news before it happens is rare indeed, and it is one of the things that makes journalistic reputations. Laptop Computer Searches The New York Times has a good editorial about how the government should not be allowed to go through and look at the contents of your laptop computer hard drive without a warrant or probable cause when you come back into the country from a trip abroad. The New York Sun's Josh Gerstein covered this issue back in June 2008. It's the Obama administration now carrying out the searches, not the Bush administration that was doing it when Mr. Gerstein first started covering the issue. But on this one, at least in Congress, it's the Democrats leading the effort against the expansion of government power against the individual. What If George W. Bush Had Done That? My former colleague Josh Gerstein has a classic piece up at Politico on the double standard applied to President Obama and George W. Bush. The headline is "What If George W. Bush Had Done That?"
