Me: Better get ready for some bullshit.
Hey someone's gotta keep the average IQ of a lawyer bell curve balanced. I'm pretty sure the 5th circuit is the equivalent to "Florida Man" in the legal space.
The theory I heard on the Strict Scrutiny podcast is that the 5th Circuit exists to write atrocious opinions on terrible rulings so that the Supreme Court can make rulings that are only 85% as horrible as that so the SC can seem more reasonable by comparison.
