Accurate analysis.
Yes, for what it's worth. Courts are not beholden to correct application of precedent or "accuracy." No doubt there are sentences in the law, here and there, that when put in isolation will reach the opposite conclusion. Courts will choose whichever language fits the predetermined outcome.
Under “INFORMATION YOU NEVER ASKED FOR”: Just last week a friend was startled to learn that Sasparilla or Sassaparilla is NOT the correct name of the soft drink which was the butt of jokes in saloons of the old wild west.
The name is Sarsaparilla. Sasparilla is a bastardization of it by the oldtimers who drank it and/or made jokes about it. Very similar to the bastardization of the name “Vacquero” for cowboys south of the border, which became Buckaroo among American cowboys.
Have a great week, Sassy.
