9th Circuit is in chaos?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

WTF?

[PCIntern]

1. It's like those films in psych class

Ranting and raving.

2. Well, 80 % over turn rate. Alternative facts rule.

5. He said he "heard" it ...somewhere...

Good god....my head is literally spinning from the lies! How are the Press people sitting there listening to that?? OMG....

I am just beyond believing any of this.

[dem4decades]

6. I'm sure they are freakin going nuts.

[Luciferous]

7. Yeah he heard it from the voices in his head...

8. The 9th circuit does have a 80% turn over rate from the SC

That is of the cases they agree to review which are very few. The only other circuit higher is the Federal circuit which is at 84%. The American Bar Association did a study of cases taken by the SC from 1999 to 2008. The figures come from their study.

9. The deviation of performance between the circuits is hardly dramatic.

The Supreme Court’s grant of certiorari tend to favor those cases that are likely to be overturned. It’s a major selection bias, and it gives a very distorted picture of what happens in the appellate court system.

Every circuit has more than half of its decisions selected by the Supreme Court for review overturned, and the median is 69%. The deviation of performance between the circuits is hardly dramatic.

3. They shot him down.

That's chaos to him.

4. Trying to discredit 9th circuit????

Remember a POS republiklan wants to create a 12th circuit and remove the red states from the 9ths purview ...include Washington St. too in order to control them...

[former9thward]

10. Nothing to do with "red" states.

Most people in the legal field want the 9th circuit busted up. It is far too big geographically and has the most cases of any circuit. Democrats wanted the 9th busted when Obama was president.

11. Ummmm - mccain tried this before...

If you break up the court into two, that may mean new judgeships.

Those new judgeships would be filled by the Republican Senate with nominees proposed by a Republican president. There certainly is a political piece to this.  -
