re: #490 Charles

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.

I’m looking as well, but I’m guessing it would be impossible for any judge or circuit to have an 80% reversal rate, given the number of cases the SC accepts vs. the number of decisions a circuit court makes, i.e., for a circuit to be overturned 80% of the time, the SC would have to accept far far more cases than it does.
