I am getting ready to revert somebody's change, and since it isn't clear vandalism, I'd like to explain why I'm doing this. Jmabel changed the clause "The judges currently on the court are:" to "The judges currently on the court as of 2004 are:". This was annoying for several reasons:
Therefore, I am reverting Jmabel's change.

Ought this sub-section be removed now as no longer relevant? Just curious as to what others think here. 72.183.240.231 05:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
It might be an interesting historical note to include (wasn't the circuit temporarily headquartered in Houston?), but I agree it doesn't need its own section any more. Libertylaw 17:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Re:The Compaq Case for tax avoidence. Judges Edith H. Jones, Jerry E. Smith and Harold R. DeMoss Jr.
In the case it is very obvious that the only reason that the original verdict was overturned was because Judge Edith H. Jones is trying to get on the U.S. Supreme Court and with Compaq having such huge political ties, there was never any way that they were going to uphold the original verdict.
In the book "Perfectly Legal" by David Cay Johnston I quote "Judge Jones has inveighed against what she sees as the evils afflicting American society, saying that the legal system has become morally corrupt. America needs, she said in 2003, "a recovery of moral principal, the sine qua non of an orderly society." Shame on you Judge Jones, and your associates, you have opened the floodgates for corruption from corporations to not pay their taxes while touting that the legal system is corrupt. You might want to look in the mirror because you have helped in that corruption.
Your holier than thou stance is another person in prominence in our goverment that screws all of the little people for money, position and agendas. You and all of the jerks in government who daily make and enforce laws on those least able to defend themselves while bending over backwards to allow corporations and the richest Americans to get away with not paying their taxes and not enforcing tax laws equally across the board.
Since I started reading the book "Perfectly Legal", I realize how the goverment of the United States of America only provides for those who can contribute alot of money for their campaigns and that the smoke and mirrors of "Campaign Reform", "Tax Relief", and all of the other things touted by the politicians which are enforced by the courts are just BS! I will not stand for this anymore, I will be on "YOUTUBE" and everywhere I can start getting things turned around in this country. I will make myself heard. All of you make me sick. Yea and that is not a physical threat so do not even go there. You do not deserve to be on the Supreme Court, you do not even deserve to be on the Court of Appeals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there any place or section where I could write about a ruling the court made? Or is it not part of Wikipedia's policy to do that on the Circuit Court's page? PleiadesTraveler (talk) 01:41, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
