Pull up your chairs, kids. Prof. Kreis has invited you to an old-time fisking.
Ilan Wurman's anti-birthright citizenship Supreme Court amicus. I won't mince words. He bastardizes the common law. It is a methodologically bankrupt approach to the history of Anglo-American constitutionalism. It is little more than preening to gain someone's favor, but certainly not a scholar's.

This is not an academic paper. She doesn't even cite her fucking Bible sources. Never mind that her reading of the biblical sources is entirely off -- that's another fisking for another day -- she does not say, "From an evangelical Christian pov, this approach does not hold. +

Great fisking of some very bad speech prose here

Appreciate your fisking, Charles, but isn’t it obvious that they’re purposely dismantling Obamacare through the back door because they couldn’t do it legislatively?
When it collapses, they’ll just say, “See! It was rife with fraud and that’s why it failed!”

jesus christ this is an actual fisking
![Williams’s book is impaired by slapdash prose. His writing abounds with interminable, convoluted sentences that teem with digressions and then awkwardly limp toward disorienting conclusions. Here is one from the prologue:
For non-whites, even though the mixed-race population has become the fastest-growing segment of the American demos and, in real terms, a disproportionate but statistically small and decreasing number of unarmed Black civilians were killed by police annually (typically between 15 and 25 per year from a population exceeding 40 million, according to The Washington Post’s “Fatal Force” database) — and indeed other quality-of-life markers have been equalizing for significant numbers of Black people since the civil rights movement — the death of [Trayvon] Martin followed by [Michael] Brown (regardless of the specific contingencies of that case), and a high-profile slate of videotaped police and vigilante killings that converged with the proliferation of camera-equipped smartphones and the pervasiveness of social media, thwarted any self-congratulatory sense of the inevitability of social progress still alive in the first half of Obama’s second administration.
Huh? In addition to such passages, “Summer of Our Discontent” includes many distended excerpts — some spanning three pages — from not-so-obscure sources, including The Times.
Midway through the book, Williams chides another writer on the race beat for propounding “an excruciatingly simplistic tale, fueled by a powerful unwillingness and incapacity to grapple with contemporary American racial and social complexity.” Regrettably, I know the feeling.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvfposmpmhegtyvhbs75s3pw/bafkreif2e52q5ncyrgmcxrrhpwuuclwcfp2vefdlmqxka6z5p2brfiarsa)

it's a small thing, but I really dislike the word "fisking," which dates back to a right-wing blogger's long line-by-line deconstruction of a (correctly) anti-war column by Robert Fisk in the early aughts

If you read the whole interview it seems clear that Drummond wanted to give Steyer a Chotiner-style fisking but didn't come up with the goods (and, oddly, apparently didn't come prepared to ask about some of the very real problems with his platform). So instead we get this.
