On the recordMarch 7, 2000
There is no doubt that over a period of years, the Ninth Circuit has been reversed more than any other circuit. Their record of having 27 out of 28 reversed in 1 year is absolutely unprecedented. It has never been approached by any other circuit. As a Federal prosecutor who spent 15 years full time in Federal court, I can assure my colleagues there is no circuit in America that is looked on with less respect on questions of law enforcement than the Ninth Circuit. It is the furthest left Circuit in the American judiciary, and there is no doubt about it. There are some great people there. They are wonderful. I would not mind having them over to my home discussing great legal issues, but they have been outside the mainstream of American law.
