Battle of the Blogs-The Supreme Court Nomination
John Roberts' Supreme Court nomination has generated a huge wave of Internet activity.
From large PACs to the average daily blogger, it seems like everyone has something to say—and the Internet is their sounding board of choice.
Even before President Bush announced his choice on Tuesday, blogging sites dedicated to the Supreme Court vacancy had already sprung up all over the Net. Among them are the Washington Post’s “Campaign for the Court”, with comments from other newspapers and excerpts from TV interviews, and American Progress Action Fund’s blog where former clerks and other Supreme Court experts post their insights. Now that the nomination has been announced, the online buzz has escalated to a roar, with activity almost reminiscent of the 2004 election. Besides the blogs, groups like Progress for America and MoveOn.org have set up sites dedicated to either supporting or opposing the nomination. From left-wing to right and everywhere in between, the Internet is filled with the news of John Roberts.
