Interesting to see Concepcion getting more attention in the press. A fairly basic article, with a sympathetic anecdote, appeared in the NYT over the weekend. More important, a good example of the media, often flat footed on non "sexy" Supreme Court cases, introducing the implications of this crucial case for the general reading public. I don't think it will become the next Citizens United or Ledbetter in terms of political profile, but let's hope articles like this can help Concepcion start to permeate voter consciousness and build support for reform.
