    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.
