Lots of blogosphere death in the afternoon

Though Will Baude provides this great examination of the sparring between Justices Thomas and Stevens over the fate of Almendarez-Torres and the Second Circuit Sentencing Blog continues his great coverage of his chosen federal domain, the rest of the blogosphere is consumed with capital sentencing developments.  In alphabetical order:

• ACSblog here discusses a Texas case to highlight race and disparity in the death penalty.

• Althouse has a fascinating picture in this post about the Supreme Court's Hill decision.

• Concurring Opinions has posts on death in Alabama (here and here) and on Hill here.

• Decision of the Day reports here on a notable split Sixth Circuit ruling on a capital habeas appeal.

• PrawfsBlawg has this post on the Supreme Court's House decision.

• And the copious SCOTUSblog comments on Hill and House are worth reading.
