No, the appeals court were very much in lock step with the interests of established big businesses. They may as well have built their own that's-no-moon with a two metre wide weak spot.

Star Wars is not a dictionary.

They basically undermined precedent set by the Supreme Court, hence the rogue label.

It is rogue in that it is suppose to follow the precedents set by SCOTUS, and they have even blatantly ignored SCOTUS - including one of their own calling out the rest of the judges on doing so.

If they don't follow the law - written, unwritten (e.g. common law), and judicial precedent - then they in fact rogue. Mon, 01 Oct 2012 17:23:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (TemporalBeing) Comments RE: Rogue! http://www.osnews.com/thread?537204 http://www.osnews.com/thread?537204

Don't you see, that only proves the Supreme Court is itself rogue and full of activist judges and wanting to destroy the American way of life!*

The Ultra-Supreme Court of Business Interests is a much higher power than the regular Supreme Court, don't you know? Some say it's even powered by God.
