Even the Supreme Court wrestles with "Lie vs Lay"

Supreme Court issues revisions of opinions when there are mistakes in spelling, grammar, or other relatively minor errors in construction.  Given the number ot times these opinions are passed around to each Justice (and their clerks), I am surprised any serious mistakes are not caught and corrected.

Pictured below (page 10 of the document), is one we can all feel--- the difference between "Lay vs Lie".  This correction is in the case of "Trump vs CASA," the recent birthright/injunction case.

English teachers, if you find this, enjoy!  :)

  1. Found this blog while randomly looking on the internet for my APWH notes. I love finding teacher blogs talking about history, economics, and government a lot… I hope you continue to upload more blogs in the future! I was happy to see your latest was from 2025, because the blog I clicked on was from 2011. Looking forward to more posts ^_^

    1. Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it! I am retired now, but still have my head in "the game" of Social Studies content. For a long time I focused solely on AP Economics, but since retiring I have expanded my writing/posting interests into Supreme Court issues. Always wanted to know more about it but did not have the time. Again, thanks!!
