Carter-appointed Reinhardt is the Judge who wrote FROM THE BENCH to Bush, Sr. demanding that he appoint more "compassionate liberals" to the federal courts. He is married to Ramona Ripston, head of the ACLU in Los Angeles and a constant source of trouble for every nut cause imaginable.

Reinhardt has also been involved in a disproportionately high number of overturned cases, even by California standards.

I think I recently read that in one Supreme Court term decisions in which Reinhardt participated were reversed an incredible total of five times.

Reinhardt's reaction here shows that, whoever wrote and signed the Pledge opinion, he was the prime mover in the decision.
