About that Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals



The Bay Area San Jose Mercury News stated the 9th Circus isn't as liberal as many say.  . . ." President George W. Bush appointed six of the court’s 25 active judges, but 18 have been appointed by Democrats, though the seven appointed by President Barack Obama are generally considered moderate, said University of Richmond Law School Professor Carl Tobias.
"Tobias called the notion that the 9th Circuit is liberal “dated.” Arthur Hellman, a federal courts scholar at University of Pittsburgh Law School, said the picture of where the court stands in relation to other circuits has become muddier." . . .

9th Circuit’s Opinion Is Wrong, But Its Impact Is Limited

The law that never was  . . .
. . . "Did judges Canby, Clifton, and Friedland each "faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon" them "as judge under the Constitution and laws of the United States"?  Their duty was to interpret and apply the law, specifically, 8 USC, sec. 1182(f).  If they believe that the law does not apply here, they had a duty to explain why.  If they believe that the law is unconstitutional, they had a duty to explain why.  They violated their duty.  They violated their oath.


"If you had to make a list of things that a judge could do that warrants impeachment, deliberately ignoring an applicable law that contradicts the judge's opinion would be on the list."
