Eldred - the view from inside the cockpit - As I said before, Professor Lessig did a great job in preparing for his recent Supreme Court argument, and I'm certain that he did a great job during the argument. And he's certainly done a great job in this post-mortem blog post about the argument. Congratulations, professor! Now try to get some sound sleep. You deserve it.
