Ohio is in the Sixth Circuit, which is pretty evenly split or slightly left-leaning -- "
Still, don't you think that they might look to see what the Florida Supreme Court did? I mean they are REALLY LIBERAL, we know that for sure. Remember, the ones who GAVE US WITH A BOW that endless nightmare?....
The way it'd work on appeal is, first a three-judge panel, whose members are selected AT RANDOM, would hear and rule on the appeal. Thereafter, it's possible (happens only rarely) that the full complement of active (as opposed to semi-retired "senior) judges on the Circuit would RE-hear the initial panel's decision.
Even out here in the Ninth, it's possible to get a conservative PANEL. I was just saying that the overall roster for the Sixth Circuit is one pretty evenly split left/right. (It was barely left in the michigan cases, which were one of those rare full-court-rehearings. The racial-preferences side won by one vote. Only thereafter did the Senate add two new Sixth Circuit Bush appointee judges. So maybe it's a teensy bit RIGHT, now. Hard to say.)
