Never underestimate the power of blog. A blogpost prompts the 9th Circuit to amend its decision in the rather high-profile California three-strikes case.

Would've been cooler if the judges had emailed the blogger to say thanks for the fact-check, as a Fifth Circuit judge did when Howard Bashman's How Appealing blog pointed out one of its errors.
