The 9th circuit gets overturned far more than other lower courts, from what I have heard.
Isn’t it clear, if certain judges get overturned so often, that they are clearly misapplying the law, misjudging the law and its application, in their judgements? Isn’t it clear that they just aren’t good judges???
“The 9th circuit gets overturned far more than other lower courts, from what I have heard.”
Help is on the way. There are 29 seats on the 9th Circuit.
Currently there are 16 RATs, 8 Repubs, and 5 vacancies.
Trump has already replaced 3 (2 Repubs, 2 RATs) which are part of the above totals
Trump has put forward 4 nominees:
Daniel P. Collins 2/6/19 (who will replace Harry Pregerson a Carter Appointee)
Kenneth Kiyul Lee 2/6/19 (who will replace Stephen Reinhardt a Carter Appointee)
Bridget S. Bade 1/23/19 (who will replace Barry G. Silverman a Clinton Appointee)
Daniel Aaron Bress 2/6/19 (who will replace Alex Kosinski a Reagan Appointee)
So you see he is really changing the composition of the 9th Circuit.
And FYI Clinton appointed 14 to the 9th Circuit, 9 of whom are still active. So you see Slick Willie had a huge impact here ( as well as all the rest of the Judiciary) having two terms as President. Contrast that with W Boosh who had only seven total appointments and has already had two take senior status (both replaced by Trump nominees). The ages of the remaining Clinton trash range from 73 down to 64. Obola made 7 appointments.
Understand that the Supreme Court doesn't usually take cases to affirm; they take cases to reverse. That skews statistics some. Also, during the Enron debacle of blatant prosecutorial misconduct it was the 9th Circuit that ripped the US Attorneys apart.
