and that is most certainly correct unless doing so would have impermissible retroactive effects
This thing is taking time too.
One prediction
It will be more than that. At a minimum I expect them to wait until after the 2016 elections.That's an optimistic prediction. I'm thinking it could be up to a year from orals for an opinion, which could include numerous dissents & concurrences.

Oh, I quite a agree. I argued a case in the 9th back back in the beginning of February to a panel. Still no decision. 1-2 years from argument to decision is very common in the 9th Circuit and that is just run of the mill.
That's astonishing to this layperson. Conducting briefing and correspondence via pony express wouldn't slow the process a fraction of a percent.
What I find astonishing is that even though they often take a long time to decide cases, they often decide cases wrongly. The least they can do is get it right....
Why does the Ninth take so long to decide cases? It is very discouraging for a solo practitioner to take cases up to the Ninth when you have no idea how long it will take to as much get a oral argument.
That is helpful. Thanks. I'm working on my first 5th circuit brief right now and I am hoping we at least get orals in the next year. It gets a little frustrating in that I've been done with briefing for over two years in my second Ninth Circuit appeal and I havent had oral arguments. I don't even know what to tell my client. I had no idea it would be so long when I appealed it for him.
