It's the job of the judge, not the appeal panel, to evaluate the arguments, determine which are meritorious, and make a ruling. The appeal panel's job is merely to evaluate the existing judgement and do whatever is necessary to ensure that the judge actually did eir job reasonably. The complaint is that you appear to have skipped the first two steps above and gone straight to the third. Also, it's easier to get three people to agree on REMAND or REASSIGN than on AFFIRM or OVERRULE. -root
