Court Reversals

The July 13 article on the high rate of reversals by the Supreme Court of liberal rulings by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (28 of 29 reviewed), failed to mention that 11 of those reversals were suffered by Judge Stephen Reinhardt, nine of them by a unanimous Supreme Court. Even the liberals on the high court apparently believe that Judge Reinhardt, the ACLU’s point man on the 9th Circuit, too often lets his extreme left-wing ideology determine his rulings of law.

Your article makes me thankful that the Supreme Court, from its “ivory aerie” in Washington, has not reviewed the other 4,571 9th Circuit Court decisions. Based upon the 28 reversals mentioned, had the remainder been reviewed by that court, our jurisprudence system would be in a shambles.
