Disclaimer & comment rulesThis is an important ruling. Trump cannot think he is a dictator and can do whatever he pleases. The constitution is designed to stop any President from acting outside of the law.

Whilst explain to Trump, in simple words and using picture cards, how government works within the law and constitution, they might remind him that no White House staff can flog his daughter's clothing line on T.V.
The 9th circus has a well deserved rep for being the most overturned and as I write is being devided having solidified the support for their own destruction.

Feb 10th, 2017 - 08:17 pm - Link - Report abuse +4What in tarnation does a supreme court justice have to do with the determination of the 9th Circuit Federal Appeals Court? Other than your personal opinion, do you have anything to substantiate your claim of “being the most overturned”.

Stands to reason, like Trump and his base, they all make it up as they go.

Table 2 shows that the 9th Circuit Court had the most cases overturned, and also the most cases affirmed. It's simply by far the biggest.
Feb 12th, 2017 - 04:24 pm - Link - Report abuse +1It does not have the highest percentage overturned; that honour goes to the Federal Court, according to the same report. And the number of cases considered for most of the courts are so low that the differences are probably not statistically significant anyway.
Also note the paper only covers the period 1999 - 2008, so the figures are rather out of date. More recent data for 2010 - 2015 shows the 6th Circuit has the highest percentage overturned, followed by the 11th Circuit, with the 9th Circuit now in third place.
So it's fair to say the 9th Circuit has an above average reversal rate, but claiming it's 'the most overturned' is as usual a right-wing myth.
My original assertion is confirmed.

If the courts need justification for the travel ban then they need look no further than the Bowling Green Massacre!

Stupid libtard.
