OA55: More on Gorsuch - Was He Just Unanimously Reversed By the Supreme Court?

Today's episode continues our look at appellate jurisprudence, Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, and the philosophy of originalism that Andrew continues to insist is so extreme ast o be disqualifying. First, our much-beloved segment "Are You A Cop?" returns in triumphant fashion with an examination of a claim being raised by many Trump supporters; namely, that the 9th Circuit is "the most reversed appellate court in the country" with a "90% reversal rate."  Is this claim true?  (No.) In the main segment, we take a look at the Supreme Court's just-released opinion in <em>Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District</em>.  Is this a "unanimous reversal" of Gorsuch on appeal while Gorsuch's nomination remains pending??  As usual, we correct the news sources that got this story wrong and explain its significance to you. Next, we answer a question/comment from Ed Brayton, author of the "Dispatches From The Culture Wars" blog, who has a different take on originalism. Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam question #16 about apparent authority.   Remember that TTTBE issues a new question every Friday, followed by the answer on next Tuesday's show.  Don't forget to play along by following our Twitter feed (<a href="https://twitter.com/openargs">@Openargs</a>) and/or our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/openargs/">Facebook Page</a> and quoting the Tweet or Facebook Post that announces this episode along with your guess and reason(s)! <span style= "text-decoration: underline">Recent Appearances:</span> Andrew and Thomas were guests on <a href= "https://soundcloud.com/politeconversations/pc-panel-discussion-6-free-speech-the-right-vs-sjws"> Eiynah's podcast, Polite Conversations, Panel Discussion #6</a> talking about liberals vs. conservatives on free speech.  Give it a listen! <span style= "text-decoration: underline">Show Notes & Links</span> <ol> <li>This <a href= "http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2017/feb/10/sean-hannity/no-9th-circuit-isnt-most-overturned-court-country-/"> Politif
