| reply to Bill Re: Hasn't the ninth circuit...
People talk about how they're the most overturned court, but if you take it as a percentage of cases, they're not the most overturned. They're simply overturned often because they handle more cases that the other districts. Not saying they're not insane kooks on that bench, but they're no more insane than any of the others. |

| Yes, but the Ninth Circuit leads in "summary reversals", where the Supremes just hand a case back without full treatment--sort of saying "Wrong, dummies, look at this again"--essentially where the error is so obvious it need not be explained.
