It is not! A “scrivener’s error” is for things like fixing typos or very minor non-material errors, not retroactively adding a deportation order that doesn’t current exist!
Is "correcting" a previous order like this a real thing?

Phang: Bove knows he’s not a regular citizen anymore. Judges are bound by different rules of conduct than an average Joe or Jane citizen.
So for Bove to say that he was there in his “private capacity” or even his “public citizen” capacity is bunk and bullshit.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
