Judge Walker
Good change today on United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit regarding Judge Walker's leaving the Chief Judgeship. Although, September 30 and October 1 are Saturday and Sunday, so I don't think it will matter all that much. :) Regards, Newyorkbrad 21:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Glad you liked it. I noticed that it's the weekend, but Oct. 1 is the date in the NYLJ article I cited, so them's the facts. Theleek 22:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

re: Election day
The reason I changed 'national holiday' to 'federal holiday' is there is some ambiguity as to the meaning of the former.

i.e. the national holiday article states:


 * A national holiday is a statutory holiday enacted by a country to commemorate the country itself.

Though (as the article notes) they are often used interchangeably in the U.S., in my understanding federal holiday is less ambiguous in its meaning of a federally-recognized holiday. And the linked article makes more sense in context. Dforest 16:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Dred Scott
Hi. I have provided a reference for the precedents of the Missouri state supreme court - the Wilentz book lays it out.

Also, I am not sure why you removed the bit about Justice Curtice resigning. He resigned in disgust over the case outcome; this is also in Wilentz and in the wiki article on Curtis. Do you have some good reason for removing it?

 * Thanks for the reference. But I think the article itself should at least name a prior inconsistent case.  Nothing fancy---just a phrase like, "---for instance, in Smith v. Jones---."
 * On Justice Curtis: the way it read previously, it just said that he resigned, without saying why. That seemed like a non sequitur to me, which is why I took it out.  But if you have a reference that says he resigned *because* of this decision, then I agree that it should be in (and should state that that was the reason he resigned).

Davis
Actually, my bad it's the Davis Wiki ; the Davis Enterprise defines the neighborhoods the same way, if you check out the Friday real estate section. Carlossuarez46 04:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
