Untitled[edit]

Is it actually true that this article is still a stub? Possibly it should just be given the regular category tag, at this point. Auros 20:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two and half years later... done.--CAVincent (talk) 20:58, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Column where she hopes for a "liberal Scalia"[edit]

Partial excerpt:

But beneath the claims that the court has shifted radically rightward with each successive appointment lurks the sense that the remaining liberals have somehow let us down...

If, then, we're totting up all the qualities the current court's liberals ostensibly lack, we'd need to blend boldness with passion and persuasiveness with volume and then hope the next candidate also comes with some sort of just-add-water Sweeping Constitutional Vision kit. Preferably this persuasive, passionate constitutional bomb-thrower is also a woman, and, with any luck, an African-American or Latina or Asian-American as well. Putting it all together, it's hard to come up with even one Scalia-like candidate, although some cross between Rachel Maddow and Emma Goldman sounds like a good start.

From the above excerpts, it is clear that Lithwick includes herself in the views she expresses. And yes, in the article she uses a form of "we" six times, "us" once, "my" once, and "our" once. Regardless of whether the title originates from a song title, she signs off on "I need a hero." If you still have any doubts, there are about five non-Slate sources that also ascribe those views to her. As far as length, the material can be trimmed. That specific column of hers is noteworthy enough to be mentioned in multiple sources (besides the WSJ and TNR reference I included, it is mentioned in The Volokh Conspiracy, How Appealing, The Washington Monthly, and The American Prospect).

Possible COI[edit]

I'm going through and checking the edit by 142.115.92.239 (talk · contribs) who would appear to have some kind of relationship with the subject based on the promotional tone of his major edit. --William Graham ^talk 20:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm plenty willing to assume good faith on your removal, but surprised that the edit in question was stricken from the article history. That seems unusual for merely COI concerns, as opposed to more serious BLP concerns. Conceivably, something could have been salvaged with a little work. CAVincent (talk) 05:41, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah sorry, I just found that another user changed the visibility due to copyright violation concerns. CAVincent (talk) 05:51, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
