The problem is the date regex date_match = re.search(r"[A-Za-z]+\.?\s+[0-9]+,\s+[0-9]+", text)
which fails for rows where the date has this format 12-28-2023. Sometimes it picks up a mix of the citation and the date, like Guam 12, 11. It seems that this date format started to appear on mid 2023.

We are missing all opinions that have that date format. In CL we only have 70 opinions for this court_id, 2 from a not-scraper source, the rest from the scraper from 2021 to the present.

I counted the opinions for the years present on CL, and there should be 75, so we are missing 7. I ran the backscraper on the PR with some problems.

From 2008 backwards, most records have no dates so they can't be collected without triggering an error on AbstractSite._check_sanity()
