[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3070018, member: 13624"] The important sentence was this one: [B]This means the Supreme Court generally reverses far less than 1 percent of all the cases the 9th Circuit (and other circuits) decide.[/B] The circuit percentages are that high [I]of the cases SCOTUS chooses to hear[/I]. SCOTUS chooses to hear only a tiny, tiny fraction of the cases even petitioning for certiorari, let alone the total volume of the circuit. With its [I]severely[/I] constrained resources (critically, the time available--there simply aren't enough hours in the year to hear all of the cases petitioning for cert), the Court chooses cases that it feels are most important--namely, those it thinks were decided wrongly, have a huge impact (in terms of number affected or principles affected), or have circuit splits (inconsistencies across circuits, in which case it's [I]guaranteed[/I] that at least one circuit is going to see some reversal).
