“... liberals would still have access to the same liberal judges ...”
-
Yes, my thoughts exactly.
Specific States would not have to face far left San Francisco partisans when the inevitable lawfare suits hit them.
For example, the State of Arizona would not have faced them in the appeal of SB1070. A new federal circuit means a new beginning with judges who more represent the legal sentiment of the States they are from.
This article spells this out:
Example:”In addition, the Ninth Circuit has forced the state to give driver’s licenses to illegals, offer bail to the most violent criminal aliens, and has blocked the state from requiring proof of citizenship in order to register to vote”
With just a bit of attention to the character of the judges appointed these things stand a FAR greater chance of NOT happening.
Just one of many arguments to constrain the Ninth.
