PT lawyers - Federal judges having decisions struck down by higher courts?by
The fact that is a topic is disgusting but all to much an issue. All this means is that courts are completely politicized rather than using the laws that are already in place. That is why I have great distrust and disdain for the legal profession as a whole. Those who trust the word of a legal professional also whore themselves out to a system that is bankrupt of morals. Unfortunately there is no other system available so what we have is, well what we have. Do not break the law, avoid putting yourself in a position of litigation. if you cannot then pay off a judge and pay an exorbitant amount of money to lawyers. They do not manufacture, produce, increase value to anything other than charging you out the arse for services. Unfortunately they are needed.
With that all being said, I see AI replacing them all. That is also a frightening thought in itself.

is it too much to ask for an honest judiciary? shouldn't the public have access to metrics that frame a judges ability to judge impartially?

Just another thing we can give Trump credit for......exposing how politicized the judiciary is against America First/MAGA.

It should not be but here we are. SFP noted that it worked itself out with warp or light speed. Well that is swell. How about looking at WHY the hell it needed to be “worked out” in the first place. I am not a lawyer or have ever wanted to be one but have enough sense to know this was politically motivated. If I can see this then hopefully the public, elected officials and the higher courts can see it. Fix the fricken problem.

Is there a database that tells us what # or % of decisions that federal judges have reversed by a higher court?
Westlaw has such stats. Probably elsewhere too, not sure if it’s anything free

Over two and a half hours, and Slo has yet come to dispute your post.

Trump aggressively politicized the judiciary in his first term. If you admire non-politicized judges, you will not admire many Trump appointees.

can you point out some of the decisions that Trump appointed judges have had reversed by a higher court that are political in nature?
if you can't name "some", can you at least give me one? i'd honestly like to see it.

The Florida Trump records case comes to mind.

Is that the one where Jack Smith got caught falsifying evidence and got his entire case dismissed? Didn't he accept a pardon and flee to Belgium?

The good news here is, we did put 235 judges, progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump, last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.

As stated, the legal research cites one has to subscribe to can provide the reversal rate. I suspect you can find the reversal rate for a specific judge if you search the internet by the judge's name.
Few judges get reversed more than 10% of the time, though, so don't expect to see huge discrepancies. Most of the cases they hear are not particularly controversial.
In my experience, Federal Judges HATE to get
reversed. It's a point of personal pride for them, and it can affect their status among their peers, their ability to be considered for higher positions, and the respect
they receive from the attorneys who appear before them.
Every decision a judge makes is enshrined, in writing, forever. No one wants to be remembered for making a bunch of wrong decisions. I suppose, in a politically charged case, a judge may be willing to take their position and let the appellate courts sort it out, but that is not the norm.
