The 4th Circuit is stacked with far-left activist Obama clowns. It is probably the most liberal Circuit in the nation right now. This was always a foregone conclusion when this went En Banc. On to SCOTUS.

================================
Just like John "ClownBoy" Roberts said - the Federal courts are TOTALLY non-partisan.
Currently, there are 8 ‘Rat appointees and 7 GOP appointees. Today’s decision was 9-6, with faithless Bush 43 appointee Roger Gregory voting with the 8 ‘Rats. The author of the majority opinion, Diana Motz from Baltimore, is a particularly nasty ‘Rat.
