Reply #47: Like I said, there is a lot of folklore about this... [View All]

The issue relates to a headnote - like a West keynote - that was not introduced by the US Reporter.

Marbury v. Madison was not stenographically dictated, and Supreme Court decisions are not and have never been stenographically issued.

But the larger issue with the OP is the magical thinking notion that pointing out the accreted folklore around the headnote in Santa Clara would have some kind of impact on current law.
