News feeds and blogs are not the same thing. Law.com is not a blog, and Becker-Posner is not a newsfeed (neither is it about law anyway). And how can SCOTUSblog not be on this list?

I second the SCOTUSblog omission!

Hello from TopTenSources,

1) TopTenSources feeds can come from a variety of sources – blogs, multimedia sites, websites, etc.

2) The original haiku read:

Law news feeds abound,
Like gavels on Mt. Fuji.
These 10 are the best.

3) Becker-Posner is not a news feed, but it does have a news feed. And it is definitely about law in many respects. Though the issues Becker and Posner discuss are larger than narrow questions of black letter law, they are the sort of grand, law-heavy policy debates that are of great interest to the legal community. Recent posts referring to laws on price gouging and federalism are good examples. Moreover, not only is Posner one of the U.S.’s preeminent legal scholars and a Judge on the 7th circuit, I doubt there are many lawyers these days who escaped law school without reading something Posner wrote.

4) SCOTUSblog was an intentional omission from the US Law Top 10 site, for two reasons. First, it features prominently on the Supreme Court Top 10. Second, the US Law site focuses on generalist law news feeds. Any new decision from the Court is likely to be discussed on several of the US Law Top Ten.
