Last I checked, sane courts don't have policy goals and objectives (and this was not the goal of congress creating it).
Corrupt, maybe not, but they are highly ideological, and IMHO, it's way too ideological of a court when it comes to decision making.
- rayiner 13y agoYes, I agree with highly ideological and would tend to favor conferring patent appeal jurisdiction onto the general courts of appeal, because I think those judges don't experience the same echo chamber. As for concerns about subject matter expertise: we expect federal judges to understand complex RMBS cases, is patent that much harder?
