Of course they are going to reverse the GITMO case. It's STUPID.

The other one is the one people should worry about.

But, you owe Paul at least a nod, he got the facts and called you on them.

Nod to Paul? His numbers support my assertion if anything;

Percentage of 9th Circuit cases partially reversed or vacated - 75% (18 of 24)

OK, I was 5% off...mainly because I was working from memory & didn't check it. Wow....

Percentage of all cases partially reversed or vacated - 74% (59 of 80)

Again not exactly a bell-ringer for that circuit, is it? Again close enough to the point I was trying to make.

Percentage of 4th, 5th, 8th, and 10th Circuit cases partially reversed or vacated: 100% (8 of 8)

Again it shows how whacked out the Federal apellate courts are.

Percentage of state court cases partially reversed or vacated by the US Supreme Court - 81% (17 of 21)

Ditto.

So what's the contention?
