Talk:Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition

message: I've taken the liberty of moving (in my clunky, non-admin way) "Ashcroft vs. Free Speech Coalition" to "Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, per usual court citation style.  A previous editor moved the page from a previously miscapitalized title, and in the process inadvertantly (or at least unknowingly) changed the abbreviation.  I'll now go fix all the double-redirects.  Hope this didn't ruin any edit histories or something like that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zenohockey (talk • contribs) .
"Six and a half to two and a half."  The official lineup of the Justices given in the Court's official syllabus reads in part, "O'Connor, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part, in which Rehnquist, C.J., and Scalia, J., joined as to Part II."  Based on this statement, I understand the attempt to clarify the lineup of the votes by splitting O'Connor's vote in this way.  But I don't think this is a helpful way to think of the lineup of the votes, because it presupposes that there can't be a third way, as sometimes there is in Supreme Court decisions.  Describing it as 6-2-1 might be more helpful, since O'Connor's reasoning was particularly sui generis.  I think I'll make this change.  ---Axios023 05:02, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I would request that all please note to include proper legal citations in their references, as most of us would like to be able
to read the court opinions for ourselves. This is in order to make certain platforms, such as LexusNexis and FastCase compatible
with the Article as presented here. I will be fixing the references in this regard where possible, as this is a huge benefit to law students. Thank you. 71.91.178.54 (talk) 04:27, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
