by the Supremes. Boulderites, it’s a lopsided dissing.
In five straight cases, the court has rejected the work of the San Francisco-based court without a single affirmative vote from a justice. The nation’s largest court, stretching from Montana to Hawaii, the 9th has jurisdiction over nearly 20 percent of the nation’s citizens. Not surprisingly, it routinely supplies the largest portion of the cases the court reviews each term.
As the most liberal circuit in the land, its work quite often is at odds with an increasingly conservative Supreme Court.
But some of the recent reversals have been delivered with a lash that those who closely watch the courts say reflects more than just a disagreement of law.
I’m sure the 9th circuit would be welcome in Boulder, too bad they have no jurisdiction here .
