Correction Watch, Part II
I was told yesterday by the Readers’ Representative that the paper would be running a correction today of the erroneous statement that began Saturday’s editorial regarding Justice O’Connor.
Well, if it did run today, I can’t find it.
Correction is up! On Editorial Page and not on corrections page yet.
Retiring justice — An editorial Saturday on Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said the Supreme Court in its last session had 13 5-4 decisions and that O’Connor had been in the majority on all of them. The number of 5-4 decisions during the court’s 2004-2005 session exceeded 13 (the number is up to 24, counting 5-3 decisions with Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist not voting, and other vagaries). O’Connor sided with the minority in a number of these 5-4 splits.
