Does anybody have any information (e.g. short links or a summary) on the discourse ethics of Habermas? I'm just curious since Professor Hoppe was a student of Habermas and I'd like to see how their approaches differ and what conclusions are reached by Habermas.

Here's some short summaries I found (not by Habermas himself):
http://caae.phil.cmu.edu/cavalier/Forum/meta/background/HaberIntro.html Introduction to Habermas's Discourse Ethics: Robert Cavalier, Carnegie Mellon and Charles Ess, Drury College
http://caae.phil.cmu.edu/cavalier/Forum/meta/background/agimmler.html The Discourse Ethics of Jürgen Habermas Dr. Antje Gimmler
http://www.royby.com/philosophy/pages/habermas.html A discussion in relation to the ‘Discourse Ethics' of Jurgen Habermas. Roy Hornsby
For your purposes, I recommend the first two over the third. Or at least readership of the first two before the third.
Sorry for the citations not being in MLA, not enough time.
That's wonderful, thank you very much.

Don't thank me, thank google. :)
You might also want to have a look at "Between facts and norms" (available, e.g., on Amazon); his main political theory book, where he attempts to reconcile liberalism and republicanism, sadly selling the former for the benefit of the latter...
He differs from Hoppe on many issues; most notably, after the deliberative stage of the process, he allows majoritarian decision making, not too compatible with anarcho-capitalism. Hmm, and not forget: he is a (not very) reformed Marxist.
frankfurt school, represent . thats him on the far right.
