* It’s shocking that the crime of adultery is still on the books in New York, but it’s not surprising that a woman is getting slammed with it. The Hester Prynnes in these situations always get it worse than the Arthur Dimmesdales. [Gothamist]

* Minnesota Congresswoman drafts legislation calling for Professor Erlinder’s immediate release. What’s the point of being a superpower if we can’t get our citizens out of jail when they are being held on ridiculous charges in a foreign country? [Betty McCollum]

* Look, I’m the one who wasn’t drooling over Debrahlee Lorenzana when her manufactured breasts first appeared on my computer screen. But I guess I can understand the reflexive need for women to defend another woman’s right to beg to be stared at then whirl around and complain when men stare. [True/Slant]

* Verily, Monty Python could have come to a more sensible decision than Kennedy did in Berghuis v. Tompkins. [Infamy or Praise]

* The things we chose to care about during a state-sanctioned murder. [WSJ Law Blog]

* Vinson & Elkins associate gets a two book deal. [Tex Parte Blog]

* Whoever is running John McCain’s Twitter feed needs to stop trying to look “hip.” [Josh Blackman’s Blog]
