on

in

in
a

resurfaced
by

New
Republic
this

in
a

about
the
growing
influence
of
conservative
ex-clerks
and
legal
scholars
pumping
out
secondary
source
material
for
the
courts
to
cite
when
precedent
and
the
history
don’t
back
up
their
policy
aims.
Specifically,

examines
the
cottage
scholarship
attempting
