I keep on thinking about how John Roberts messed up nitrogen oxide with nitrous oxide in a ruling on how the courts were better suited to provide expertise than experts.
to be fair here I don’t really care which one of these corrupt freaks said it, they’re completely unqualified for the task they seem to have given themselves on top of being compromised to the core by bribery
It was, but all 9 of them are supposed to read these opinions, and if ALL 9 OF THEM missed it, then it is a real fucking problem after Chevron’s reversal.
It's really sad that the hear tech cases when they're all dinosaurs who don't understand anything about tech. Might be different now with slightly younger justices, but I remember hearing a story where they were still using typewriters and such.
I keep on thinking how this is an important substantive point that is going to be very hard to cite. I did make a perma.cc of the updated version with the little pdf post-its noting the changes
Is that best practice though? If saying they made a mistake, the original document with the mistake seems like best evidence or whatever. The analysis provides that the mistake was relevant and telling and ironic etc etc
Gorsuch also did this in the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy case.
Same thing that always happens when folk put themselves above accountability: They’re getting sloppy.
For the record conflating Nitrogen Oxides (NOx - NO and NO2) with Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is the goof every college sophomore makes once for laughs and then again if they’re realizing engineering may not be for them.
Strap in, folks!
Just think of what fun it'd be to be dentist for a justice tho! "Don't worry, fella--once the nitrous ox-...er, nitrogen oxide starts working you won't feel a thing!" 😈
I miss Souter. A Bush I nominee, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by his confirmation hearings. Astonishingly knowledgeable
No way the GOP was going to make the same mistake again, though.
