Taser International sockpuppet, recently operating under the name "Wisewon" (sic), has been spreading misleading information about the record of the Ninth Circuit Court. The allegations are typical extreme rightwing, raving, foaming at the mouth, lunacy.
The claim is that this court is "the most overturned" court in the USA.
It's a lie. A bald face lie.
In fact, the 9th is middle of the pack in comparison to other courts. See [LINK].
Rightwing nut-jobs may not immediately understand the type of information presented at the above link.
They're called "facts".
UPDATE: Let me explain. The SCOTUS reviews appeals and elects to hear those that are more likely to require review. So quoting "15/16" is a childish mistake. The correct denominator is not 16, but should be the total volume of cases heard by the that court. The 9th is middle of the pack by that more-logical basis. It's all explained in some detail at the link above.
That "Wisewon" would make such a trivial error to propagate a lie is perfectly typical. Rightwing nut jobs are often heavy with bad info and fairly light on simple logic. It's a brain-stem issue, and not really their fault.
