What always disturbs me about reporting on appeal decisions is that they exhibit zero interest in law; there's always just a default to ideology. Decisions may as a matter of fact usually break down on ideological lines (especially, I guess, in a system where judges are elected), but I wish there wasn't a (self-fulfilling?) presumption that that's just the way the (sham of a) system works.
