While our only required reading on the Supreme Court cases is the Sunday Magazine story on the Florida case, you may want to peek at old news coverage of the case like this NY Times article. Plus, New Jersey has had its own version of this conflict with a recent case that made it to the New Jersey Supreme Court.
Finally, a few years ago I made a list of links to detailed information about most of the major takings cases.

Supreme Court Precedence
This spring we have talked about a number of Supreme Court cases that have established some relevant precedent for takings law and related areas. And, while I'll be the first to stress that Wikipedia is not always a reliable source of detailed and academic information on controversial issues (like eminent domain), you can get a quick overview on many of the cases as a quick check on your lecture notes.
Euclid v Ambler
Penn Central v NYC
Lucas v SC Coastal
Dolan v Tigard
And remember that any of these could get vandalized (briefly) in the next day or two.

A revolutionary birthday
Today would be Aaron Ogden's 251st birthday. Born on this date in 1756, Ogden was a solider in the War of Independence, a governor of New Jersey and the named party in the very important interstae commerce Supreme Court decision of Ogden v Gibbons (1824). His house, in the city now known as Elizabeth, NJ is still standing today.

SCOTUS
As my students know, I am a bit of a fan of the Supreme Court season. And today is the final day.
As the court issues its last bits of paperwork today, I thought I should mention some of the resources that students (or fans) might follow to read up on the recent decisions.
First, you can get generic news from Yahoo's Supreme Court aggregator:
http://news.yahoo.com/i/701
But for straight reporting you should probably begin and end with Linda Greenhouse's coverage - I tend to think she is the best SCOTUS reporter out there.

For analysis I often find Dalia Lithwick's writing to be fairly compelling and explanatory:
http://www.slate.com/?id=3944&qp=26373
And, while there are countless blogs covering the events unfolding in DC, the most relevant one I discovered recently is called SCOTUSblog: http://www.scotusblog.com/movabletype/
