For anybody interested the 5th isn't the worst court. Here is a summary

Well judging how bad a court is by how many times this Supreme Court reverses it isn’t the best metric, that would require the SC to be a fair and reasonable actor

You were the one who brought up that the rulings of the 5th were slapped down as some sort of argument about the quality of their rulings.

The point was that SCOTUS is heavily partisan and still finds errors even they couldn't stomach.

This was obvious.

Sorry for the confusion there, but I bought that up as a point that their rulings have been so bad that even the current, extremely partial SC, has been forced by the politics of the situation to slap down their rulings. It’s as if your own friends tell you you’ve gone a bit too far.

The 5th Circuit has the highest percentage of cases reversed among circuits with more than 2 cases reviewed by SCOTUS.

If that's not the worst, how do you define worst?

The 4th circuit has 100% reversal rating with over 2 cases reviewed.
