We Got Scooped: SCOTUS Edition




On the Media show

Summary: <p>This week's show is all going to be all about the Supreme Court, and we were excited about a particular segment on transparency... until the Court made it totally obsolete on Monday. </p> <p>In the spirit of transparency we're putting the segment down our podcast feed and explaining the story behind the story. First, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/25/us/final-word-on-us-law-isnt-supreme-court-keeps-editing.html">Adam Liptak of The New York Times</a> tells us about the justice's practice of editing their opinions after they've been handed down, and not telling anybody about the changes. Then, <a href="https://esq.io/">David Zvenyach</a> tells us about the Twitterbot <a href="https://twitter.com/SCOTUS_servo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">@SCOTUS_servo</a>, which he created to make those edits public. And then, OTM producer Alana Casanova-Burgess explains how the Supreme Court <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/06/us/politics/supreme-court-to-highlight-revisions-in-its-opinions.html?ref=topics">changed their policy</a> this week and made our segment useless. Progress! </p> <p>Coming up on Friday's show: an hour on the Supreme Court. (Working Title: "Hot Bench")</p>
