The Eleventh Circuit has so many visiting judges (circuit, district, court of international trade, people's court) because it does not want to increase the number of judges to accurately relfect their caseload - it is a fight that Tjoflat and Hatchet often had and that continues today. The result, in my opinion, is a dillution of 11th circuit jurisprudence. No doubt that, en banc, many judges would side with Pryor, but they would at least be 11th circuit judges speaking for the 11th circuit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-40203214912490370082011-09-01T13:35:24.872-04:002011-09-01T13:35:24.872-04:009:42 -- You raise an interesting point, and one th...9:42 -- You raise an interesting point, and one that has merit (especially when it comes to district-court judges sitting by designation, whom I've often thought may be shy about disagreeing with their superiors), but I'm not so sure that's the case here. Judge Barksdale is an experienced circuit-court judge who has an impressive background. There's no obvious reason why he'd side with Pryor and not Edmonson if he wasn't persuaded that Pryor was correct. If the case does go en banc, there'll be judges siding with Pryor, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-75743493257700658852011-09-01T09:42:14.490-04:002011-09-01T09:42:14.490-04:00The Shaygan decision underscores one of the major ...The Shaygan decision underscores one of the major issues with the Eleventh Circuit's practice of having so many visiting judges on their panels. You have one 11th Cir judge agreeing with Judge Gold and one 11th Cir. judge disagreeing with him. The tie is then broken by a visiting judge. So on a very sensitive matter of rebuking a district court judge on a very public case of prosecutorial misconduct, the decision gets made by a visiting judge. David should take it en banc, and have the Eleventh Circuit do its job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-61286067498860923502011-08-31T15:22:06.093-04:002011-08-31T15:22:06.093-04:001127 am - Markus does not blog anonymously - don&#...1127 am - Markus does not blog anonymously - don't hid behid your tin badge and comment anonymously.
