re: #479 lawhawk

I’d like to see some proof of the 80% reversal rate, given that she’s on the 2d Circuit, and it’s among the courts least likely to be overturned (unlike the 9th).

She’s been on that Circuit for a decade. If she had a 80% reversal rate, it would translate into the overall figures for the 2d Circuit.

I’ve been searching for some proof, and this claim does not appear to be true. Some of the more extreme blogs are even claiming she has a 100% reversal rate.

Here we go again with the hysteria.
