The Ninth IS the “Twilight Zone”.
Worked on cases that appeared before it and got some of the worst decisions (good and bad) that I’ve ever seen. For at least one judge, presenting documents of required contract signings for 24 out of 26 companies, and other documents which set the policy that “ALL” those companies had to sign them, was not enought to sanely imply that it ALSO HAD TO APPLY to the remaining two companies whose documents were not found at that time.
Cost the taxpayer $100,000,000 dollars. Hated losing that case because in a sane court, it would have been a slam-dunk win for the govt. But not in the Nutty Ninth.
And that is my story.
federalism is a house of cards if only the majority would realize
