Re: Trump presser: He's griping about Hillary getting questions for the debate - pdq - 02-16-2017 He also said 80% of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decisions have been overturned. In fact, less than 1% of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decisions have been overturned. Snopes: Each year the federal courts of appeals collectively terminate an average of 60,467 cases. However, the Supreme Court only reviews an average of 64 cases per year, which is about 0.106% of all decisions by the federal courts of appeals. The Supreme Court generally only takes cases which they think raise legitimate questions; the vast majority are not taken up. As a result, between 1998 and 2008, in the tiny minority of cases the SCOTUS reviewed, the Supreme Court either vacated or reversed the majority of rulings from every Appeals Circuit Court district in the US: It's just the nature of the process. And in any case, the Trump administration is unlikely to appeal this to the SCOTUS at this point anyway, because most folks that ought to know think they'd lose.

Remember - you don't appeal a case to the Supreme Court if you're pretty sure you're going to lose. The fact that appeals courts generally have high overturn rates just means that among the cases that seek and are granted appeal, the Supreme Court is granting cert to cases that have a chance of going either way.

You know what uranium is, right? This thing called nuclear weapons, and other things. Like, lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things. Nobody talks about that." Yup. No one ever talks about nuclear weapons. Never.
