9th Circuit Judge Wants Another Vote over Trump Travel Ban Decision - LawNewz. I think this is what you were referring to, log? A couple of quick programming notes: First, any judge can request an en banc review, and I have an idea which judge it might have been (a Bush appointee), but it requires a majority vote of the entire 29-member Court to have it. Neither party has petitioned for it. It is extremely unusual for a court to take an en banc review on its own motion, and I don't think that will happen here. Instead, I think that one of the judges was upset that there was no dissent from the panel's decision and wants an opportunity to put his/her objection in writing to burnish their conservative bona fides.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
