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.

Right. And this is an object lesson in not believing the hype that’s coming out. In addition to the out of context quotes, someone out there is already deliberately circulating falsehoods.
