WASHINGTON -- The Republican-led House voted Tuesday to break up the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, an action opponents said was motivated by conservatives' ire over some of the court's rulings.
Nine states are currently covered by the 9th Circuit, but the legislation would leave just California and Hawaii in a revamped lineup.
The proposal splits the seven other states into two new courts: one to handle appeals from Arizona, Idaho, Montana and Nevada; and the other to oversee Alaska, Oregon and Washington.

I assume the Senate will smack it down, though.

Poor Hawaii. Not even Arizona, Oregon, and Washington to help stabilize things, even a little. They'll declare independence any day now.

This is great news, but now watch the so called republicans in the senate...HA!
The senate will pass this bill when Hades freezes over.

Congress has control over the courts, per the Constitution.
Not the other way around, as the courts and lawyers would have you believe.

Oh grate.
How about putting all those other states in the 9th and get a new court for California and Hawaii?
Dang it

Okay, on the extremely unlikely chance that this proposal should pass, can't the 9th circuit just overrule it?

Nope. It'll never get past the Senate. All one has to do is look at Hatch, who will say his **GOOD FRIEND SENATOR KENNEDY** disagrees with it.
