I don't know if all writers are interested in the Supreme Court, but I am. I love to read the transcripts of the arguments. It is quite informative to read the full text of the decisions instead of the sound bites we get in the news. Go here http://www.supremecourt.gov/Default.aspx to find everything you always wanted to know about the Supreme Court.
