Yes, I understand your point. And my point is that just because "every
other judge felt differently" does not make the rule desirable. And if I
understand it, I don't think it is. Jim

Interesting, thank you. If I understand the rule he fought, I required
lawyers to be admitted to the Calif bar to practice in federal court in
Calif. This is obviously a terrible rule in my opinion so I understand his
opposition but I am certainly not in a position to evaluate his Art. III
argument. But I am glad he fought it and it is not the rule now.
PS This rule is another restraint of trade rule. Full employment for
Calif lawyers! Jim

The rule was to practice in the federal district courts of the various
districts that had the rule, the lawyer has to be a member of the California
bar (with exceptions). DOJ didn't say the rule was good or bad just that it
was constitutional. My point was in the affected districts, every single
judge was represented by one DOJ Attorney but Real demanded a private
attorney at gov't expense to support the plaintiff. He made a crazy Art: III
argument. He was wrong, he cost taxpayers money, and he continually insulted
both his colleagues and DOJ.

Eric, I wonder what the rule was about. Just because a bunch of judges
want it does not make it ipso facto desirable.
And I wonder also whether this judge would have suffered this attack if he
had ruled the other way. Jim Bopp

I'll make no comment about any campaign finance issue but Judge Real is in
fact a nut. When I was a lawyer at DOJ in 1990, he fought a war over a
local rule that was favored by over 75 other judges and refused to be
represented by the DOJ in a frivolous challenge to that local rule causing all
kinds of strife and showing great disrespect to his colleagues who unanimously
wanted to support and defend the rule (which we did).
And that's not close to the worst things he has done.
Best,
Eric

One growing trend we see is that any judge who decides a campaign
finance contrary to the wishes of the regulatory lobby will be subjected to hit
jobs from that same "ethics" lobby, focused not on the merits of the
decision, but framed as an attack on the personal ethics and attributes of the
judge.
Disgraceful.
(P.S. To be clear, this is not targeted at Rick for including these pieces
in his daily roundups, but at the people launching the hit jobs.)

The 9th Circuit opinion shows that age has not mellowed Judge Real, who
was born in 1924 and appointed to the bench in 1966 by President Lyndon
Johnson. For much of his long career, the judge has been _dogged by
controversy_

=5zwdegqk4C0VElpQdK9f5oSt8P4g2YjFf8o1fM2fTGk=) on Judge Real’s record at
the 9th Circuit, he has been reversed 87 times. The judge has been affirmed
233 times. His reversal rate in the last 10 years – not counting his 47
partial reversals – is nearly 17 percent. (I calculated the rate by dividing
the number of complete reversals by the sum of complete reversals plus
complete affirmances.) In 2015, according to the Westlaw report, the judge was
reversed 12 times and affirmed 20, an astonishing 37.5 percent reversal
rate. Before Wednesday’s decision in the Wijegunaratne case, Judge Real had
been reversed in two other cases in 2016, compared to seven affirmances.
