Judge David Gustafson is obliging on steroids and a gallon Red Bull (hi, Judge Holmes). After unloading a meticulously pen-and-ink-edited off the bencher (see my blogpost “Obliging? He’ll Correct the Transcript,” 4/20/26), Judge Gustafson revisits the eScribe’s œuvre, and hands out the Matthew 23:4 treatment in Carl Lawrence Collins, Docket No. 2643-17, filed 5/29/26. 

In 25 (count ’em, 25) pages, Judge Gustafson edits IRS’ edits.

Copyediting is a lost art in this age of digitization and artificial everything, but Judge Gustafson is resolutely keeping it alive.
