Then what would you say about the judge who reversed her?

This is a wild one.

Cabranes is a Peanut Boy/Rapin Bill judge.

John M. Walker [senior judge] is a Grabby Poppy judge.

The dissenter, Peter Walker, is a Smirking Chimp judge.

But, of course - this IS the Second Jerkoff Court of Schlemiels...

#10. He is on the FISA Court (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review). Maybe he will turn on the other judges if he feels that they also betrayed their trust.
