Copyright problems using WestLaw? --Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board--[edit]

FYI. I posted the following at [1] and [2]  :

The article Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board appears to violate copyright. I didn't want to go so far to have the page blanked by using {{subst:copyvio}} and to file a formal objection, but I'm still considering and welcome someone else to do so if necessary.

It looks to me like the text for the Holding portion (and likely some of the rest of it) was lifted from WestLaw. My guess is the editor probably didn't realize that copying from WestLaw would be a problem.

This also bring a question. Are citations like this acceptable in our law articles?

The President could not “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” within meaning of Article II if he could not oversee faithfulness of officers who executed them. U.S.C.A. Const. Art. 2, § 1, cl. 1

I don't have access to WestLaw (and neither will most readers), so I believe that using a WestLaw (or LexisNexis) citation should be avoided. However, U.S.C.A. or U.S.C.S. could be found in a law library. So I am not sure if it is generally acceptable or not.

which Free Enterprise Fund?[edit]

Wandered across this article while looking at all articles starting with "Free Enterprise". Wondering if the first party is the Free Enterprise Fund associated with Stephen Moore (writer), Arthur Laffer, and Mallory Factor? I don't see any of those three (Moore, Laffer, nor Factor) mentioned in article. I am too busy to search through the references, and hoping someone else looking at this Talk page might have enough time to check the references. --EarthFurst (talk) 00:34, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EarthFurst:, it's not often messages on admin law cases get answered (relatively) quicky, but luckily I'm tidying up cases tonight. It appears that this is indeed the Free Enterprise Fund you're asking about—page 61, footnote 281 of this paper verifies it. Hope that helps. Muttnick (talk) 02:03, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
