I agree with you, but my opinion holds little value. It would take me some time to dig up, but I remember coming across at least two recent cases shared here where the “unfavorable panel” came to a “favorable” decision.
I don’t like playing the odds game because each and every case stands on its own, but from what my layman brain can gather, it seems like we should have a shot with even the most undesirable panel.
sts@ Agreed 100%. The credibility of Law Systems of America is at stake here.
And it is actually 'the other way around'. The system of 'not knowing' in advance the 3 Judges of CAFC is precisely to 'secure against' possible corruption/outside buying specific Judges.
Until proved otherwise - I will place full trust in that US Justice/Law systems will 'In the End' - correct the errors of Nevada ruling.
