Ginsburg eviscerates 9th Circuit’s handling of immigration consultant's case
Fox News ^ | May 07 2020 | Ronn Blitzer

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 Circuit’s 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.

Usually people try to right the wrongs they committed when they know their time is near an end.

“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?”

Clearly, she doesn't have the gall she once had.

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.

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.
