Last week, a person with the Twitter handle @arizonasunblock from Tampa, Florida, noticed that Bradley, who has been on the high court since 2015, appeared to make major changes to her Wikipedia biography earlier this year.

    “It’s so unfair that my own words can be written down for posterity!”

    Tell me she doesn’t know that just because you’ve edited a Wikipedia page, that the previous version still exists, and is likely to draw attention and discussion because of your edits.

      And is super easy to revert to the prior version too. It’s basically two clicks to make it happen. And then have an admin protect the page to only allow established editors so randos can’t do this with just an IP address again.

        Just in case she happened to read my comment, I didn’t want to use the word “revert” in order to avoid confusion.

      I love too that she mentioned, “REAL OPINIONS” as if those are more valid than the exact words she said.

        It said “Actual Opinion” not “Real Opinions”.

        I’m pretty sure opinion doesn’t mean what you think it does. When a judge writes up an opinion it’s a bit stronger than me saying what I do or don’t like or how I feel about something. Same as between scientific theory and the other definition.
