Dissenting Judges Voice Dire Warnings for the Country As 9th Circuit Denies Rehearing of LA National Guard Stay

(scratches head)

As far as I can tell, they’re waiting for the panel to fuck it up again on the merits, not just the motion to stay. But where the numbers come out on the inevitable en banc review is unclear.

Thanks as always for the insight! While I may still be confused, at least I am now confused about more precisely defined things.

You are right to be confused, as it is deeply confusing.

Both Steve Vladick and Chris Gardner attempted to unspool the complications of these TRO/stays last night but not being a lawyer I’m still lost. Have to just continue to read their interpretations on a daily basis and maybe the lights will come on.

Wow, this is one of the most concerning developments coming out of this whole maga shitshow. Our courts are not going to apply the law judiciously? This is the brink.

Monarchies don’t elect Democrats… So how is it relevant that the monarchists wouldn’t want Democrats to be king? King doesn’t get handed around. When a monarchy takes power they do NOT want the other side to have such power is correct, but that doesn’t make the monarchy not monarchists. Would be like saying that because Britain will never allow a French citizen to be Britain’s king that the British aren’t monarchists.

Sorry! No crassness intended. I really do believe we White folks have much to learn from those who have long, hard experience suffering oppression in this country, especially about how, when, where to fight back. Again, no disrespect intended.

9th circuit court by far the biggest in the country!!!
UNITED STATES COURTS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Today the Ninth Circuit is the largest of the twelve regional circuits in geography, population, volume of litigation, and number of federal judges. The active circuit judge count in the other circuits ranges from six to seventeen, while the Ninth Circuit currently has twenty-nine active circuit judges. All circuits also include senior judges – judges who have semi-retired and no longer occupy an active judge’s seat, but still decide cases and contribute to their court. The Ninth Circuit currently has twenty-four senior circuit judges. In 2022, 8,268 new appeals were filed in the Ninth Circuit out of 40,869 nationally, which is 20.2% of all cases filed in the 12 circuit courts. The next largest, the Fifth Circuit, received 14.1% of national filings. Additionally, the Ninth Circuit had by far the highest percentage of immigration cases nationally, 56%.
