The 9th circuit does not have 75% of thier decision overturned. They ARE NOT ACTIVIST.

Almost a year ago. I know you were around for this thread. And if you actually never saw it, I quoted it to you recently when you said the same thing.
In short.

in 2001 the 9th circuit saw 10,372 of these only 14 were overturned. That is a rate of 1.35 overturns per thousand.
The 9th circuit is the largest in america. Largest by far. The next closest in size is the 4th circuit. Widely known as a very conservative panel.
the 4th circuit saw 5,078 cases in 2001 7 were overturned by the Supreme Court. That is a rate of 1.38 per thousand. The 4th circuit, the second largest in america is half the size of the 9th circuit
So to review.
9th - 10372/14
4th -- 5078/7
The 9th has a lower correction rate in regards to all the cases it sees.

Go to the link, see the map. Compare it to the 4th. Remember that California alone has 1/8th of the US population.

Instead of bitching about a court that sees twice as many cases as the next largest, why not bitch about a court that actually gets overturned in higher percentages, by the SC, than the 9th?
I'd like to know where you got "rates of up to 75% of their decisions being overturned"
When the truth is 1.35/1000, That is truly a figure that is yanked out of thine ass.
And if your 75% figure means 'of cases the SC chooses to hear' of course they have a high turnover rate. The SC takes cases on a pick and choose basis on ones they see likely to make an example out of. EVERY CIRCUIT has the same percentage of overturns per SC review.
