Courts - "Our ''Tech-Savvy Supreme Court"

I found these entries yesterday from the WSJ Law Blog and DC Dicta to be seriously scarey, given the age in which we live and the prime technology issues with enormous implications that the SCOTUS will be asked to decide over the upcoming few years.

This article today by Marcia Coyle of The National Law Journal is a little more reassuring, beginning:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday wrestled with the privacy expectations of public employees in a case involving workplace monitoring of text messages.

By the end of arguments in City of Ontario, Calif. v. Quon, some justices, unfamiliar at first with the ins and outs of text technology, appeared better informed, but Jeffrey Quon's expectation of victory appeared to decline.
