Authoring a unanimous Supreme Court opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg tore into the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for "drastically" straying from judicial norms when hearing a case involving a California immigration consultant.
After Evelyn Sineneng-Smith had been convicted of violating a federal law related to encouraging illegal immigration, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision, not based on arguments presented by Sineneng-Smith, but by third parties the court brought in to submit arguments that the panel of judges themselves had suggested.
"[T]he appeals panel departed so drastically from the principle of party presentation as to constitute an abuse of discretion," Ginsburg wrote, later stating that "a court is not hidebound by the precise arguments of counsel, but the Ninth Circuits radical transformation of this case goes well beyond the pale."

It’s a good sign that the judges screwed up when you can get a unanimous reversal out of the Supremes.

What is disturbing is that the appeals court generated its own appeal sua sponte.

“You just know that she knows her days are limited on this earth.”
My first thought when I saw the headline was, “Going away present?”

The Ninth Circuit case was argued before A. Wallace Tashima (senior status) [Clinton appointee], Marsha S. Berzon [Clinton appointee], and Andrew D. Hurwitz [Obama appointee].
Basically a Resistance ruling from very politically biased judges.

You know you’re screwed up when Ginsberg bitch-slaps you like this....with this topic as the basis.

Re: You just know that she knows her days are limited on this earth.
Either that, or a more likely reason: One of her clerks wrote it, seeing which way everyone else was voting on this no brainer of a case.
