I'm not sayiing this is the case but logically, it is possible that all the courts except the ninth are "radical" and this would explain why the ninth is so often overturned. Just speaking logically... please, continue!
By definition, the position which is more radical is the one which is not accepted by the majority, thus the opinions getting overturned the most, are the radical ones in the eyes of the law. I am not judging based on morality of decisions, or what i personally think is right or wrong, but what the law is deeming is right and wrong.
So when the dems took control of congress and the senate in 2006, it meant that the republicans had been radical, and Obama meant that McCain and Bush represented radicalism. Do you see how silly your argument below is?
You are wrong about the 9th circuit. they are wacky and overruled frequently. That is the point. Your response is non response. I have no desire to teach jurisprudence to you, read it for yourself I am sure you would learn it quickly.
The real strawman argument here is that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is an impartial court of law.
No, you are wrong. Next time, just provide a link to support your claim. Silly, silly, silly. Someone supposedly trained in legal research can't provide supporting evidence from a few second google search?
No court in this country is impartial, as the judges are not impartial...every judge has his/her own biases, so your use of the strawman below to claim something that wasn't a strawman was a strawman is duly noted...
I like the definition of radical I learned from Thoreau, roughly quoted, "for every hundred hacking at the branches there is but one chopping at the root." He agrees with your distribution, but my interest is in who is getting at the root, the radical.
lol That vid was hilarious. A career politician who does not know the structure of the US government. I always suspected he was a fraud.
you want a quote... here is something that everyone with an education knows... from following the news. "The 9th Circuit also has a long-running streak as the most overturned, which went unbroken this year. The Supreme Court reviewed 22 cases from the 9th Circuit last term, and it reversed or vacated 19 times. By comparison, the Supreme Court reviewed only five cases, vacating or reversing four, from the next-busiest court of appeals, the 5th Circuit based in New Orleans. In other words, although the 9th Circuit decided only one-third more appeals on the merits than the 5th Circuit, it was reversed nearly five times more often." http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jul/11/opinion/oe-fitzpatrick11
