Anna Sale here on the day shift.

We are watching two developing stories in the newsroom today. One of them, Elena Kagan's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, looks to be winding down without much more news. The other, Hurricane Alex, looks to be turning into more of a story, and a threat to coastal communities in Mexico and south Texas. We'll have thhe latest on both tomorrow morning.

We are also making calls to sources in Washington and border communities as President Obama tries to revive the debate about comprehensive immigration reform in Washington. Ahead of his speech at American University tomorrow morning, we will look at how Arizona's new immigration law has changed the terms of the debate in Washington. He's reentering the debate at a complicated moment. On the one hand, his Justice Department is eyeing a challenge to the law and boycotts in protest have rocked Arizona's economy. At the same time, polls have shown public support for the Arizona's approach and other states are considering following suit. What do you think? Are you expecting Obama to add missing nuance to the debate, as he did in his campaign speech on race, or is the battle too pitched for to remake the conversation?

Speaking of state law and debates about civil rights, this caught our eye. The NAACP of California has endorsed a November ballot measure to legal marijuana, and they're framing the cause as a civil rights issue. "This is not a war on the drug lords, this is a war against young men and women of color," the state president told the San Francisco Chronicle. We're just looking into this, but it seems like there's a lot to unpack here. 

Finally, summer is road trip season, and we'll hear about a particularly memorable adventure tomorrow. Back in 1996, David Lipsky spent five days on the road with writer David Foster Wallace, who committed suicide two years ago this September. We talk to Lipsky about his book, "Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace." We also hear from Wallace's sister, Amy Wallace-Havens on her brother's legacy. We also want to hear from you: Who would you like to take a road trip with and why? Where would you go? What would you talk about?
