WOW...9th Circuit did something right.
Maybe they are scared of another Justice asking for an en banc hearing.”
Apparently the 9th Circus did not want to appear to be total fools. There is, of course, the fear of the GOP breaking up the Circus and destroying some of their livelihoods.
Since these judges have lifetime appointments breaking up the 9th would not endanger them and actually may make life easier for them.
I am stunned by this ruling, it just has too much regard for the law to come out of the 9th.
