Seeking a Correction from a Journalist

 

Dear Journalist, 

See our [prior] correspondence below. 

You wrote me the following question: “I’m just curious about your reaction to last night’s [Colorado Supreme Court] ruling—specifically over the ‘officer’ argument—one you know very well.” 

I responded with: “I think it an argument about which reasonable persons can disagree. That argument and others will likely be addressed in a further appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.” My comment was measured, vanilla, and even handed. 

In your publication, you wrote: Tillman “thought the ‘officer’ issue would be one of paramount importance at the Supreme Court’s level.” Paramount?!?  I never said anything remotely close to “paramount importance.” And, in fact, I do not think the “officer”-issue is of “paramount” importance. It is just one issue, among several issues, that is “likely” to be addressed on appeal. 

I know today is the 24th; still, you should correct this error, as soon as it is reasonable for you to do so.  

Sincerely, 

Seth
