Glenna did an unusual thing that people typically don't do: she checked a citation in a law review article to see whether the citation said what the authors claimed it did.
She found that the citation said the opposite of what the authors claimed it did.
She then asked the editor of the law review for a correction.
The editor did not reply to the request.
She then asked the authors for comment on the incorrect citation.
The authors acknowledged that the citation was erroneous and regretted the error.
The authors then insisted that the citation did not matter to their actual argument because nothing in their argument depended on the citation being right.
Glenna then wrote a post explaining why the erroneous citation was in fact important to their actual argument, and why the erroneous citation also exposed a wider ignorance of the subject on which the authors were writing. (She claims, convincingly, that it's important to know what sex is in order to understand what sex discrimination is, and that being able to define what sex is is an inextricable aspect of knowing what sex is.)
I consulted with some lawyer friends in a chat group who helpfully explained to me that no one ever reads footnotes, no one checks the underlying references, and no one cares if they are correct or not because law review articles like the one Murray and Shaw published are merely political advocacy masquerading as legal scholarship that no one reads, and therefore not to expect the Supreme Court Review to issue a correction for a citation that the authors are on the record admitting was erroneous.
Do I have all that right, @williambaude?
Never Forget...
James Comey was quoted as an “Anonymous source” in a New York Times articles about President Trump and the FBI.
Think about how crooked that is.
He belongs in prison.
WOW! Dan Bongino just NUKED Barack Hussein Obama for HITTING THE MIDTERM TRAIL ☢️
@DBongino: “It’s like that guy who goes to a holiday party. He drinks too much and picks up the mic to give a speech. And everyone’s wondering, ‘Why is THIS guy TALKING AGAIN?’” 🤣
RFK JR: “There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't produce literature. All of that tradition has been destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood. They have created stagnant societies.”
🚨 WOW! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just directed every citizen of Iran to WITHHOLD paying their taxes from the Iranian regime, and start stocking up for the winter
"They're running out of DOLLARS...they aren't paying salaries. MY advice to the Iranian people: don't pay your taxes, you're NOT gonna get anything back from the government."
"You should start, anything you need for the winter, go and get NOW...there's going to be a big heating fuel shortage."
Iran currently has ZERO oil on the water, with loadings at Kharg Island completely halted
The Trump administration is starving the mullahs of every last dollar while giving the Iranian people the green light to cut off the regime from within! 🔥
Turns out, Trump, Hegseth and Bessent had a plan all along
Things could MOVE FAST after the midterms.
I have seen so many liberal accounts actually referring to Nidal Hasan as a "Palestinian in a wheelchair" and it makes me sick.
Here's who he actually is:
THIS is how you run an ad. 🔥
Every Republican should be running ads like this.
Blakeman just turned Hochul's whole record into a comedy sketch, and it's going to leave a mark.😂
NEWS Why didn’t the board of the investment firm run by Ilhan Omar’s husband, Rose Lake Capital, raise red flags as her disclosed values for it rocketed to up to $25M in 2024 in just one year from just $1K in 2023 to then plummeting to zero last year? Rose Lake reported it had top Democrat insiders on its board, like former Senator Max Baucus, William Derough, former DNC treasurer, and Adam Ereli, former Obama deputy assistant Secretary of State, as well as Keith Mestrich, former CEO of Amalgamated Bank. But Rose Lake deleted the board names from its website. The firm also reportedly advertised $60 billion in assets under management on an earlier version of its website. Where did that supposed $60B in AUM and up to $25M come from and where did it go? Where did all that money come from and why did it vanish? @TheJusticeDept@FoxBusiness@FoxNews@EveningEdit@x@ap@Reuters@CBSNews@NBCNews@ABC@GOPoversight@DNC@IlhanMN@MaxBaucus
What DSA extremists want won’t work
But as it fails, it’ll succeed in destroying America
America is the sacrifice they’re willing to make in pursuit of their extremist agenda
August 2021: Joe Biden throws a White House party to celebrate electric cars.
Invited: GM, Ford, and Stellantis. EVs were 1–2% of their US sales.
Not invited: Tesla. The company that built about 74% of America's EVs. Built here, by American workers.
Asked why, Psaki shrugged: "I'll let you draw your own conclusion."
Elon did.
In 2022 he said he'd always voted Democrat but was done with them. That fall he bought Twitter and opened it back up to everyone.
Democrats had the most famous innovator in the world on their side. They traded him for a photo op with some union boss.
That snub was the beginning of the end. They're still paying for it.
After the Palisades and Altadena fires, Karen Bass gloated on social media about her executive order to speed up rebuilding.
But if you actually looked at the executive order, as I did, you saw that it was complete bureaucratic BS.
I had dinner with someone who STILL doesn't have his permits almost two years later. NOTHING is getting built. Meanwhile, scammers are draining elderly victims who’ve already lost everything.
Becerra is the same kind of USELESS career politician as Bass. As governor, I'll get these families their homes back.
Elon Musk says the MEDIA is the problem, not X, and accuses The Economist of fueling political division: “You’re far more polarizing than I am, and you don’t even seem to realize it.” 🇺🇸🇪🇺
The Economist interviewer: “The polarized environment, particularly on social media, fostered by the kind of things you’re pushing on X actually makes it worse.”
Elon Musk: “I don’t think so. I think you’re the problem. You’re far more polarizing than I am, and you don’t even seem to realize that.”
The Economist interviewer: “What we stand for is traditional, classical liberal values. We worry about concentrations of power, and we believe in the dignity of the individual and individual freedom. When I read what you post, I sometimes wonder whether you really believe in that.”
Musk: “I believe in safe cities, secure borders, and sensible spending with respect to government. Does that make me right at all?”
Watch CNN go into a full blown meltdown on National TV when Kevin O'Leary says the Demoncrats subverted Democracy by dumping Biden and installing Harris.
Harris didn't win a primary. She was selected by Obama and Pelosi.
Don't ever let the Democrats lecture you about "Democracy." 👇
@nicksortor@conorsweeneynj I love how you asked them “you don’t know what a US citizen is???” LOOOOOOL
this is fantastic.
Thanks for the belly laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My new favorite hobby is walking around Times Square, bargaining with illegal street vendors, then asking them their citizenship status to see how quickly they forget how to speak English🤣
It’s a FELONY "falsely and willfully" represent yourself as a citizen of the United States.
And they’re taught very well not to cross that line.
ICE could sweep this place easily, but DHS leadership won’t allow it.
(Thanks for tagging along, Councilman @conorsweeneynj)
