"The blog has also taught me that serious journalism still has a very large place amid the babbling noises of the Internet."

"I have but one regret, and it is that I was unable to persuade the traditional journalists who control the credentialing for Congress that I was as independent as they feel they are, and that journalism can take unusual new forms and still be journalism."

Writes Lyle Denniston, ending his stint on SCOTUSblog.
