What is SCOTUSblog's URL? It looks as if the old one has expired.

That’s quite a thing to see on the first Monday in October. Links to articles suggest that he old website was working as recently as two days ago.

Thanks.

I just confirmed it again.

SCOTUSBlog was recently acquired by The Dispatch; I wonder if they made a recent DNS change that hasn't fully propagated yet.

Amy Howe was on PBS Friday evening. She’s still part of SCOTUSblog, isn’t she?

Thanks, and good morning to you too.

Which is probably where they had their domain name registered. Sounds like a renewal payment might have been missed.

I don't know if it's an oversight or on purpose but scotusblog.com leads to a Network Solutions page that says the domain name has expired.

In the meantime, here are some SCOTUS-related sites:

And now the site is back. Looks like they finally re-registered the domain. I guess when the site was sold, nobody bothered to monitor the domain and let its registration lapse.

Original reply:

All the articles are dated Oct, 3. I would think that a site that centers on the Supreme Court would have newer articles considering today is the beginning of a new session.

I bet if you cleared your cookies, you's get the same expired URL page I get.
