Notes on verification
Confirmed by verification step citing SCOTUSblog, Reason/Volokh, and Colorado Politics; specific page-count comparison appears in legal commentary sources, but these are secondary reports on a recent/future-dated case, so independent confirmation from primary court documents would strengthen confidence.
