Talk:Philip P. Barbour

Start date?
The side panel says Barbour started on March 15th (two days before he left the District Court), but the article says "on May 7, 1836, the Senate approved the appointment of Barbour". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.2.60.187 (talk) 21:52, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Data behind page move
The full form of his name is the least common, particularly historically. Results from HathiTrust and Newspapers.com respectively: Philip P. Barbour: 8,201 (52%) and 1,334 (40%); P. P. Barbour: 3,179 (20%) and 1,866 (56%); Philip Barbour: 3,119 (20%) and n/a (most newspaper results don't refer to subject); Philip Pendleton Barbour: 1,313 (8%) and 119 (4%). He'd also easily be the primary for Philip Barbour, but the middle initial form seems clearly more common. The middle initial form is also used by Oyez, Brittanica, and the Senate.

"Narrowed reading of state's rights"
In the section "Constitutional legacy", the article states that Barbour applied "a narrowed reading of state's rights into the Constitution". However, the section then goes on to give examples of Barbour taking a more expansive view of states' rights than the Marshall jurisprudence. Shouldn't it say that he applied "an expansive reading"?
