Eh, well, I think he's unnecessarily harsh about Volokh. His acceptance of torture and blind spots about Israel notwithstanding, his reasoning abilities are otherwise excellent.

His co-bloggers, however, do cause me some problems. David Bernstein is generally okay, but Orin Kerr and Juan Non-Volokh both seem frequently utterly detached from reality. If you can pick and choose by name, there's a lot of interesting reading to be found there.

The other conservative blog I read is Daniel Drezner, not mentioned. I think forcing yourself to read the well-reasoned opinions of people who often disagree with you is a valuable thing -- assuming you can find such people that reason well.

The other entries on that top-ten list are about right on the money, though.

Zed, it is possible to choose only to see posts by certain of the posters at Volokh. I can't remember how, but there is a description of how to do it somewhere on his site.

Any acceptance of torture makes me stop reading a blog. And it doesn't just go for right-winged blogs. That's why I don't read Oliver Willis any more.

I don't really have litmus tests of that kind, but I presume I won't read a blog whose owner continually praises barbarity, as Volokh did in his apologia for torture.

But then again I only read 8 blogs.

I gave up on Volokh personally as well as his co-bloggers months ago. I think what pushed me over the edge was his carrying water for one of the fundamentalist groups attacking more sane protestant churches to delegitimize and take them over, congregation by congregation. Either he didn't care enough to see who he was endorsing, or he, as a theoretically libertarian Jew, had decided to just go along with the Republican Fundamentalist program.

And then there was his recent conviction of Cyrus Kar based solely on one or two news reports. Mr. Kar was released about 2 days after Volokh had opined that Kar sure sounded like a terrorist.

Volokh has consistently shown himself to be a Republican hack, in the pseudo-libertarian vein, and I've got no use for that.
