Federal Judges

Mea culpa, you did limit your comments to Federal Judges, my examples were otherwise. Although I would still appreciate your thoughts on the non-feds, what about the 9th Circuit?

While I have no examples readily at hand, do you see them as more likely that your norm to diverge from the law?? And otherwise why would the Dems be fighting so hard to stonewall Bush's judicial nominations?

West Texas

I thought West Texas was where one still rode a horse to work.

I do a monthly report on the Internet on Supreme Court cases (and a few lower court ones) involving the excesses and biases of the ACLU. The Ninth Circuit was reversed six times by the Supreme Court in this Term alone (just cases I've reviewed). And this is not a new trend for that Circuit.

Bottom line: The judges of the Ninth Circuit are the exceptions that prove the rule. They are the least likely to obey and enforce the law and Constitution as they exist, and the most likely to make it up as they go along in favor of the liberal/Democrat line.

And that is exactly why the Ninth has been reversed so often by the Supreme Court. Though that Court has its own problematical Justices, so some of those reversals have been squeakers by 5-4.

As I've written elsewhere, the only reason I think the Ninth will not try to stop the California recall, not because they know it's wrong, but because they don't want to be embarrassed, again.

I forgot to put in my post the reason why the Ninth Circuit is so far out of touch of the other Circuit Courts. The Ninth Circuit judicial nominations are mostly from California. And you are aware of the "Senatorial courtesy" under which two Senators from a state, if both Democrats, can exercise veto power over a Republican's nomination of any resident of California to that Circuit.

So that tells you why a majority of the judges on the Ninth have a wild hair when it comes to the Constitution. And it also tells you why the Democrat Senators are playing their unconstitutional game of bumping the number of votes to confirm judicial nominees up from a simple majority of those Senators present, to a hard 60 votes.
