Alex Kozinski, Reagan appointee and chief justice of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, has earned a stellar reputation not only for his jurisprudence on the bench, but as a passionate defender of civil liberties. He's a prolific essayist, w/his writings appearing in prominent publications, and is widely respected by members of both sides of the aisle.

Here are some samples of his brilliant writings on the law. . .

Criminal Law 2.0

In the Name of Justice: Leading Experts Reexamine the Classic Article "The ... - Timothy Lynch - Google Books - Look for essay You're Probably a Federal Criminal

And, last but not least, he's a staunch proponent of the RKBA. . .

The majority falls prey to the delusion—popular in some circles—that ordinary people are too careless and stupid to own guns, and we would be far better off leaving all weapons in the hands of professionals on the government payroll. But the simple truth—born of experience—is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people.

None of that means anything. What matters is how can the politicians foresee the way the justice would vote based on his or her personal politics.
 
Kennedy was a supposed conservative that came from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and was put on the SCOTUS by Reagan. Kozinski clerked for Kennedy when Kennedy was on the 9th Circuit.

The 9th Circuit is the left wing cesspool of the US Appeals Court system where the nonsense doctrine that the Constitution is a "living document" thrives and bastardizes the law with that doctrine every day.

UH, cite a specific case handled by the 9th that exemplifies this "bastardization" of the law.

U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals: U.S. Supreme Court again rejects most 9th Circuit decisions - latimes

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/25/us/25sfninth.html?_r=0

The Justices have long had a seemingly contentious relationship with the Ninth Circuit, which covers most of the western United States and Hawaii and Alaska. Far more cases come to the Court from the Ninth Circuit than any other court, and — not surprisingly — Ninth Circuit rulings make up a sizeable portion of the docket of argued and decided cases – 75 cases, or 25.7% for the last four Terms including the current session. During that period, the Court has reversed or vacated and sent back 79.5% of the Ninth Circuit decisions it has reviewed.

:rolleyes: that's no evidence of anything--all you posted was information regarding the no. of SCOTUS reversals of the 9th Circuit's decisions.

To demonstrate the 9th's incompetence in applying the Constitution or its tendency to stretch it, there must be of evidence of a specific case or several cases in which the 9th Circuit failed to apply the Constitution and/or ignored it in its decision, along w/an explanation as to how those decisions represented a "bastardization."

Cite this evidence. We're still waiting...

:doh wow.

the fact that the 9th circuit court can't get their rulings correct and the majority of their cases are either overturned or sent back to them with instructions on how to
rule is evidence for everything.

the 9th circuit is the worst appeals court in the land and known for the liberal ignorance of the law and ideological vs constitutional standings.
umm failing to apply and ignoring the constitution is bastardization since that is the oath they are supposed to uphold.
