The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is home to some of the most conservative federal appeals judges in the country. Five of the court's judges once wrote that a man could be executed despite the fact that his lawyer slept through much of his trial.

Wonder why the mass media never mentions that when it comes to pretending this circuit court is not stocked with RW ideologues?
