There was a time where any felony conviction was an automatic disqualification for any government service position.

Now it's a requirement.

Well... when someone winds up with an “insomniac or glutton for punishment” reference, I guess I could find it an indication of disdain. If you didn’t mean it that way, fine.

I didn’t ask you to ignore me either. Did I...

I said that if it bothered you that others didn’t understand the topic as well as you did, perhaps you should not pipe up to express your knowledge on the subject.

I didn’t ask you not to pipe up.

I do appreciate the information.

The artlicle is a little off base. The Court just ruled she was entitled to a full board review. In other words, this is just a procedural issue. Here is the full case: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:K0ajs0OPqdoJ:www.cafc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/opinions-orders/15-3086.Opinion.5-5-2017.1.PDF+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

-- Well... when someone winds up with an "insomniac or glutton for punishment" reference, I guess I could find it an indication of disdain. --

Well, FWIW, I find most of the US Code and Code of Federal Regulations to be dense, obtuse, and generally sleep inducing, and if I don;t have a reaon to refer to them, I don;t refer to them. I consider myself a glutton for punishment when I read them, and the "insomniac" reference is, I believe, and obvious joke.

I know that you didn't ask me to ignore you. You just suggested that if it bothered me so much, I should refrain from contributing.

Although your advice is given I am sure with good intentions, and while you appreciate the help, I don't appreciate being maligned for giving it. I'm out of here. No good deed goes unpunished, and I've had my fill of good deed doing on this board.

It’s the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. They handle all patent cases and some other matters. Not geographically defined, but rather defined based on the nature of the issues raised.

Wish they would do that more often.

I guess that when someone says something that could be offensive, I should refrain from bring it up in a response.

When someone attributes to me something I didn’t say, likewise.

Doesn’t work that way with me.

Once again, I bring up issues for the sake of clarity.

That’s what I should do.

It’s time to dissolve public sector unions. They were allowed by executive order and they can be disallowed by executive order.

If it’s a Federal Circuit Court of appeals..., how many layers do they have of Federal Circuit Courts of appeal? I thought there were roughly nine such courts?

There all 12 regional federal courts of appeals (the 1st through 11th Circuits, plus the D.C.Circuit). There is also a 13th federal court of appeals, called the "Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit," whose jurisdiction is based not on geography, but subject matter.

The Federal Circuit hears all patent appeals, regardless of the region in which they were tried (so, for example, a patent case originating in Los Angeles will be tried in the federal district court for the central district of California, but will be appealed to the Federal Circuit, not the 9th Circuit). The Federal Circuit also hears all appeals from certain specialized tribunals, such as the Court of Federal Claims. It heard this case because it was an appeal from the Merit System Protection Board (the tribunal used to fire civil service workers).

Thank you for your explanation.

Coupled with what others explained, it’s beginning to make sense.

As I would be happy to 99% unemployment on K STREET,I’d be happy to see miles long lines of lawyers looking for jobs.
