More pesky facts getting in the way of an argument
From: L.A. Times Needs a New Fact-Checker for Those EditorialsToday's L.A. Times editorial on Justice O'Connor opens with this statement:
"One fact sums up Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's pivotal role on the Supreme Court and the enormity of her resignation — she alone was in the majority of every one of the court's 13 5-4 decisions this last term."
Wow. That's really impressive. Except for one small problem . . . there were 24 5-4 decisions this Term, not 13 -- and Justice O'Connor was in the minority in quite a few of those cases.
