I added a couple of sentences about ejusdem generis and a direct reference to Footnote Four, both of which are critical to the validity, applicability, and historic context of Ely's position Democracy and Distrust. Ryanluck 01:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
As an aside, the clause "Gideon had scrawled his petition for certiorari from a prison cell in his own handwriting." isn't as dramatic as first appears. As I understand it Gideon was filing a habeas corpus petition, and the state (and Supreme Court to this day) did (do) not recognize right to counsel for a writ of habeas corpus. Thus many such petitions are filed by the inmates seeking such writs. Ryanluck 05:25, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Footnoes
Can someone tell me how Wikipedia lets me put in footnotes? I have a copy of Democracy and Distrust and can list page numbers, etc. 68.100.92.114 04:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
