U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS OVERRULED THE 6TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS ON LAST 15 APPEALS STRAIGHT
Feb. 20, 2011

Supreme Court has reversed every decision since 2008, including five death penalty cases

The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati is one of the most powerful courts in the nation, but these days it’s suffering through a major slump.

The court owns the longest losing streak in the country over the past two years at the U.S. Supreme Court, which reviews decisions and corrects mistakes made by the nation’s top appeals courts.

The Supreme Court has examined 15 rulings from the 6th Circuit since 2008 and has thrown out every one of them.

In each case – from death penalty appeals and tax disputes to disagreements over election law – the Supreme Court found critical errors that tainted the 6th Circuit’s decision.

“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.
