Kevin, that's a good question, and one I haven't looked up. I would say that a majority of the cases before the Court of Appeals probably don't involve a decision that implicates "rule of law." They would mostly be cases involving the sufficiency of the evidence or application of common law rules and standards. Instances in which a statute is being interpreted and there is a true "rule of law" vs. "empathy" decision are probably somewhat rare. I will try to find out, however.

One other thing -- I have not searched Judge Markey's decisions exhaustively (though I do have a couple more to write about). Also, I am not familiar with the "Westlaw Review" and its ranking methodology, so I appreciate the opportunity to look that up and learn something new.

Lastly, your post about the "circular firing squad" is important and well-taken. Sometimes, we conservatives forget that, once the primary is over, whomever we select is likely to be head and shoulders above the opposition. Teamwork wins games and elections.
