Last year, I blogged a concern about a Judge Fisher opinion (more of a question about the facts than a concern, really), and the opinion was amended a few days later in a way that nicely answered the concern I had raised. I wasn't entirely sure that the amendment was a response to my blog post, though: I certainly never received a personal e-mail! So it's cool that this happened here. More broadly, I think that it's a great credit to judges who are following the serious blog responses to their opinions and are willing to make minor amendments such as that to their opinions. It takes a sense of real commitment to getting it right, and it's a commitment that a lot of observers of the courts notice. I don't know how many Judges would be willing to do this, but kudos to Judge Fisher for doing so here. That’s excellent.
