Interview with Talk Left
Jeralyn Merritt is a criminal defense lawyer in Denver and the creator of TalkLeft: The Politics of Crime, a liberal blog about politics, constitutional rights and injustice.
Simon Owens: Which conservative bloggers do you think create the most spin? And if you had to pick a conservative blogger to label a worthy adversary, which blogger would that be?
Jeralyn Merritt: Powerline, Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt. I don’t think there is a conservative blog that focuses on the same issues as TalkLeft so I can’t really answer that. The ones I respect the most are Instapundit, Just One Minute and Balloon Juice.
SO: Out of all the Republican scandals that have come out recently, which one do you think will aid the Democrats the most in the upcoming election year?
JM: Jack Abramoff’s lobbying scandal.
SO: With the two new Supreme Court justices, do you think Roe v. Wade is in any serious trouble?
JM: I don’t think the decision will be overturned, but I do think it will be weakened by exceptions.
SO: What are the five blogs everyone should be reading (besides your own)?
JM: Daily Kos, Atrios, Crooks and Liars, Firedoglake, Digby
