Quote:Were you sick the day they taught civics in school? Here's a little hint. Appellate courts are Constitutionally placed to review and vet the decisions of the lower courts. In this particular case, no judgement/decision was ever rendered. A stay was issued, which is far from being a judgement. The correct action would have been to remand the case to the lower court with instruction to issue a formal judgement
. This is nothing new for the 9th circuit court though. They tend to try to legislate from the bench. This ruling will be smacked down by the Supreme Court soon enough.
