AFTER AN INTERESTING FACULTY PRESENTATION on how Article III case-or-controversy doctrines limit the role of the federal judiciary in foreign affairs, complete with illustrations from the Neutrality Crisis of 1793, I’m now getting ready to head out. Before I go, a few items. First, there’s a good story on weblogs in the Financial Times today, but it’s not on their website that I could find.

Second, the print Wall Street Journal picked up InstaPundit reader Jorge Schmidt’s emailed comments on Latin reaction to the U.S. soccer team — it’s on their editorial page under “notable and quotable.” Way to go, Jorge!

Third, unless it’s urgent, it’s probably best not to email me. I’ll be trying to get online some, but it’ll be a dialup connection and a webmail interface, meaning it’ll be slow, slow, slow. So save it if you can.

Last, in my absence check out Best of the Web, which is up early today: especially the disgraceful story about the University of California San Diego’s siding with an antisemitic hate group and against free speech. I hope that Bill Simon makes this stuff a campaign issue. Take it away, Meryl Yourish and Joe Katzman!
