“Stanley says that what happened was due to “errors”. He is calling this deliberate act an error.”
No, he’s calling it an error, and you’re calling it a deliberate act. You’ve put forth a conspiracy theory, and I’ve put forth a testable hypothesis that I believe is consistent with the evidence and with Stanley’s explanation.
Actually, it might be possible to test yours a bit. You seem to have suggested that the reason for the non-Minor cases being changed was because they dealt with citizenship. So what post-1875 cases on citizenship were consistently messed with? Any?
“If nothing else, people who depended on that resource for information for schoolwork, or research, or legal cases might have missed or otherwise incorrect cases need to know if their work was affected.”
I understand the ‘coming clean and admit how many cases were affected’ part of this. But how does blocking the Wayback Machine negatively affect students or researchers? If someone DID get incorrect information from Justia (and don’t forget that in the overwhelming number of these changes, a working citation still remained), how would searching cases on the Wayback Machine help them now?
I will look into your hypothesis as I research this story and bring myself up-to-speed. I haven’t paid significant attention to it from the very beginning and so can’t speak intelligently about the screenshots and previous claims.
However, in deciding whether or not you have an agenda and intend to waste my valuable time, I discovered that you have never, not once, posted a comment at FR on anything other than the eligibility issue. Your sole purpose here thus far is to refute birther claims.
Let’s establish that now before we move forward in any discussion. Fair enough?

are you serious?
Go read Leo’s work Vickery, I am not going to carry your water for you.
