A careful watcher of the Supreme Court passes along that Ninth Circuit judge Stephen Reinhardt “dominated the orders list” yesterday, with grants of certiorari in two cases in which he was on the panel below, a CVSG (call for views of the Solicitor General) on a petition for certiorari in another case of his, and a second relist in yet another case (one in which he wrote the opinion).
As I’ve noted before: Ever defiant of the Supreme Court as he makes his wayward rulings, Reinhardt has declared, “They can’t catch them all.” He’s undoubtedly right about that, but at least the justices haven’t given up.
