6th Circuit on losing streak in Supreme Court cases
"It's a bit surprising to see 15 reversals in a row," said Michael Solimine, a University of Cincinnati law professor who studies the federal courts.
Some 6th Circuit judges are surprised, too. But they say they're doing their best and are trying to take the rejection in stride.
"Getting reversed by the Supreme Court, some people these days think, is a badge of honor," said Gilbert Merritt, a semi-retired senior judge and one of the 6th Circuit's most liberal members. "It depends on your point of view."
