	No More Justice Delayed: Time To Divide the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If panels of a circuit court reach conflicting decisions involving the same questions of law, then the Court of Appeals will rehear the case en banc which means that all of the active judges in the circuit will sit to hear the case and voice their respective opinions.
		As such, appeals from the areas covered by each unit are usually heard in that units headquarters, and the senior active judge in each unit acts as the administrative aide for the chief justice of the circuit.
		In the Ninth Circuit, however, the prior decisions by a limited en banc could be treated in markedly different ways depending upon the particular mix of legal and political philosophies represented at the particular limited en banc court.

	New Study: Ninth Circuit is Most Reversed Court
		A recent statistical study we co-authored for the Center for Individual Freedom Foundation reveals that the Ninth Circuit accounts for a wildly disproportionate share of the Supreme Court’s docket and is the most reversed court in the country.
		Thus, not only did the Ninth Circuit, alone, account for nearly 40 percent of all Supreme Court unanimous reversals during the past four years, but in nearly half of the cases where the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth, the High Court did so unanimously.
		Quite simply, the Ninth Circuit is dominated by activist judges who decide cases based upon personal predilections rather than precedent, the law and the Constitution.

		The first decision, from an appeal court in New York, ruled that Jose Padilla - a US citizen arrested at Chicago airport and accused of being involved in a plot to set off a radiological weapon - cannot be held indefinitely in a military prison.
		The court said that, although it recognised that the US Government had a responsibility to protect the nation, presidential authority "does not exist in a vacuum".
		BBC correspondent Justin Webb in Washington says this judgement from a court known for its hostility to the Bush administration will probably not take effect until the Court rules next year on the issue and it could be overturned.

	FindLaw's Writ - Lazarus: In Defense Of The Ninth Circuit Court Of Appeals
		Recently, and notoriously, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit declared unconstitutional that portion of the Pledge of Allegiance declaring the United States to be one nation "under God." As a result, every politician under the sun took turns bashing the Ninth Circuit as a court out of control.
		Most, like Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh Circuit (who has done the most thorough statistical analysis of the Ninth Circuit's record), conclude that the Ninth Circuit, the largest by far with 28 active judges, is simply too big to do its job well.
		The Ninth Circuit's jurists are not baseball players who hit or do not hit the ball; they are judges who read, interpret, and agonize over the law.
