Actually its not semantics. its so clear Helen Keller could see it .What i said --""""" No its not. 80% of its cased that make it to the supreme court are vacated. """""

 

Unlike an Obama liberal and the constitution, there is no interpretation needed here. It means what it means

no dear, your initial claim had a sentence after it..something about "that's a pretty high number of cases" or something (words matter!). in fact, it isn't a remarkably high number and that's what makes the whole 80% commentary null.

 

Among less than one tenth of one percent of circuit court decisions reviewed by the Supreme Court, about 80 percent of the Ninth Circuit Court's decisions were overturned.

...

"In short, social media claims that 80 percent of cases decided by the Ninth Circuit were overturned were flat out false; more than 99 percent of that circuit’s decisions stood and the Supreme Court reviewed a scant 0.106 percent of circuit court cases each year. Although figures from 2010 maintained the “Ninth Circuit [had] the second highest reversal rate at 80 [percent],” the “highest” was the Federal Circuit court’s median of 83 percent. However, left out of both the rumors and the blog post was the fact that the average rate of accepted cases ruled upon differently by the Supreme Court than a lower circuit court was over 68 percent across all courts. So of less than one percent of all cases reviewed by the Supreme Court, 68 percent of decisions across all circuits were overturned. Eighty percent of decisions by the Ninth Circuit were overturned when escalated to the Supreme Court, but the numbers were misleading taken out of context."

Really surprised this thread ran 9 pages but we all gotta get our kicks somewhere.

 

"Jeff Sessions Dismisses Hawaii as ‘an Island in the Pacific"

 

It's not really a big deal, the Democrats have a judge on one of the islands who is prepared to over rule the President so they should have no problem getting him to order Sessions to correctly refer to Hawaii as an Island.

what social media reported is the argument that you and iamx (and others here) have reported. connect the dots.

calling someone "Jeffy" is personal?  I would think comparing someone to a Keebler elf would be personal

 

It is when you're speaking about someone who was handpicked by the supreme leader. Even the jester deserves deference from the court.

Except that the judge in question was not on the island of Hawaii, nor is the state of Hawaii comprised of one island. In addition, the judge in question is as important as the so-called president, who incidentally also used to live in an island.

I am not libel for what Iamx says

I am not libel for what social media says

 

I do hold my self responsible for my words and I said 80% of cases that reach the supreme court. That is a hard fact.

you also said "80% of its cased that make it to the supreme court are vacated. Thats a pretty high number. In 2008 16 cases reversed by the supreme court . By far the highest number. No other court is even close. I know pesky facts from the right.. " 

 

the snopes article that you posted disproves "that's a pretty high number" it's not. as the article you posted reads "more than 99 percent of that circuit’s decisions stood"

 

your argument is that the 9th district court is the most overturned, it isn't.
