If my talk show listening and readings are correct, it is not a break up of the 9th, but a whole new circuit to make the 9th smaller. This new Court I think might be OR, Washington, Alaska, maybe Hawaii. Discussed here on FR, and I think ideas were floated for some rough and very cold place in Alaska for it's location ;-)....

If you look at the map, you could be fairly creative in how you play this out. Trump could say to add two additional courts (not just one). The current Ninth Circuit Court could be assigned to only Hawaii and California. If you really wanted to mess with the current members of the 9th....who all live out of the San Fran area....move the 9th to Idaho, and give them Montana, Idaho and Washington to manage.
My guess is that the members of the 9th will challenge anything that Trump does...in court.

A smaller 9th will still be a magnet for Trump challenges. Divide into a 9th and 10th and reassign all the Seattle/SanFran lib judges to Winnemucca/Walla Walla/or any backwater USA. Make them commute or quit.

Yes. The Aleutian islands to be exact.
