#1 tens of thousands of people across the US have joined protests against the law.
And MILLIONS of us who are too busy working to join a protest actually support the law. However, that doesn't support the narrative, so the MSM doesn't mention it.

#2 But the court dismissed the state's request to expedite the appeal in Friday evening and set a hearing for the week of November 1.

Wow, how convenient

#4 Agenda based press. 9th Circus court - agenda based. This county is going to be a total loss if people dont wake up. I have seen this in third world countries, socialist agenda, playing on the apathy of the masses until its too late.. We are going to lose the greatest nation on earth, the boomers have destroyed this country.

#5 9th circuit is the most often reversed court in the land. Let them take their good old time coming to the wrong conclusion, then on to SCOTUS.

#6 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has thus ensured this will be an election issue across the country, at a time when the Democrats appear increasingly vulnerable.

#7 If the Donks experience a political bloodbath in November, the court will take notice and proceed with 'diligence'.

#8 Last year, the SCOTUS reversed 15 of the 16 9th Circuit cases it heard. 94%. However, the problem lies with their being no "Second Court of the United States", to review the other 3,000 cases the SCOTUS never hears.

This is why a "Second Court" has been proposed: under federal auspices, but acting on *behalf* of the States. That is, 100 State-appointed judges, just like US Senators, to review that vast number of cases advanced by the circuit courts.

It would likely kill a huge amount of "legislating from the bench", by screwy lower federal judges, as well as them bullying the States, by doing things like forcing States to appropriate money for things the judge wants.

#9 Before or after Election Day?

Just before. That means they will almost certainly render their decision after the elections.

Think of it as a "Lame Duck Session" for activist judges.

#11 We need a way to force activist judges from the bench. The "good order" clause is far too weak and "mealy-mouthed" to stand up under pressure. We need a constitutional amendment that would IMMEDIATELY vacate a judicial appointment if a federal judge passes down a decision contrary to the CONSTITUTION.

Anyone besides me see a systemic problem here? I suggest we proceed with OP's cmnt at #11 and use Moose's statistics as justification.

#13 Actually, while 94% is high for a circuit court, the SCOTUS can review so few cases from the circuit courts, that they generally try to pick ones they will overturn. With a potential docket of something like 3,000 cases a year, upholding a case is seen as something of a waste of their time.

Again, this is why we need a Second Court of the US. With a hundred justices, they could punch through the circuit court decisions *and* support States rights at the same time.
