[tips hat] Thank you! I’ll be going to work today, too much to do. We’ll see if my wife remembers. I’ll be spending the evening here before a fire with some Sailor Jerry’s. I’ll sleep well.
Help is on the way....Judicial Committee of 9/13/2018
Washington, D.C. The House Judiciary Committee today approved by a vote of 16-5 the Court Imbalance Restructure Concerning Updates to Impacted Tribunals (CIRCUIT) Act of 2018, H.R. 6754. This bill, authored by Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Subcommittee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), modifies the structure of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The federal courts of appeal have regularly expanded in number and split in response to new states and territories being added to the Union as well as population growth. There are currently 12 regional circuits in addition to the Federal Circuit. The Ninth Circuit is the largest circuit in caseload, population, and geography.
The CIRCUIT Act would implement the 1998 White Commissions recommendation to create three regional divisions within the Ninth Circuit in order to improve judicial efficiency. The divisions would include:
Northern Division, comprised of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
Middle Division comprised of the existing Northern and Eastern Districts of California, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Northern Marianas
Southern Division comprised of Arizona and the existing Central and Southern Districts of California
and a Circuit Division which would hear certain cases including where two or more Divisions have reached final decisions of law that conflict.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Subcommittee Chairman Issa praised todays approval of the CIRCUIT Act in the statements below.
Chairman Goodlatte: For the past several decades, the size of the Ninth Circuit has continued to grow far in excess of other circuits. Twenty percent of the U.S. population now resides in this circuit with nine states and two territories, making it twice the size of any other circuit. The geographic breadth and workload of the Ninth Circuit makes it challenging for parties and their counsel to have timely court dates in their region.
The CIRCUIT Act does not include an outright split of the Ninth Circuit but instead creates regional divisions in an effort to ensure our federal judiciary is functioning in the fairest and most efficient manner for the citizens it serves. I thank Subcommittee Chairman Issa for introducing this legislation and am pleased the Committee has passed it today.
Subcommittee Chairman Issa: Currently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the largest of the 13 federal appellate courts and, on average, hears about a quarter of the nations cases brought before the appellate courts in a given year. For years, many have called for this court to be divided, but there remains widespread disagreement on how those divisions should be made. The CIRCUIT Act is a step toward making this needed change.
By dividing the Ninth Circuit into regional divisions that effectively function as individual appellate courts, we open the door to determining whether a circuit split would be feasible while, at the same time, preserve the current Ninth Circuit as a single appellate court.

Ha...the proposed three divisions are OVERSEEN by the Fourth or "Circuit Diviusion"....(that can be fully staffed with Trump appointees..../be still my heart)
On Warren: One of the issues was that Warren exploited her ethnicity to enhance her career. She makes a new claim about the 0.1% truth of her ethnicity, and then wraps it in a campaign ad to exploit her ethnicity.
On Khashoggi: Journalists are making a big deal about it because Khashoggi is a "journalist", but Khashoggi is about as much a journalist as Warren is an Indian. Adams doesn't see why he should care.
On Trump: Trump makes a good argument about political bias in climate change research in the very week that some social scientists ran a related experiment. They submitted completely bogus journal articles that agreed with the social science community's politics -- and the articles were accepted by peer review, even though the science sucked.
I just clicked on his twitter and he has a JFK JR article on being alive.I suggest you check your links before posting because that does not represent Q.
THANK YOU! Listening to it now.
I have a love one headed down there right now to help.Help is coming.

Well now...the Trump administration is setting up to review all federal judges, it's in the second report of the Judicial Committee of 9/13/18
Washington, D.C. The House Judiciary Committee today approved by voice vote the Judiciary Reform, Organization and Operational Modernization (ROOM) Act of 2018, H.R. 6755. This bill, authored by Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Subcommittee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), increases the number of federal district court judges by adopting the 2017 district court judgeship recommendations of the Judicial Conference in their entirety and includes several measures designed to improve the operation of the federal court system.
The ROOM Act includes the current recommendation of the Judicial Conference to add 52 new permanent district court judgeships and to convert 8 of the 10 existing temporary district court judgeships to permanent status.
Finally, the ROOM Act requires medical screening for federal judges in an effort to assist federal judges with recognizing potential medical issues.
So there you have it
1. Increases federal judges
2. Medical screening for all
Make it so.

Tweet from @BenShapiro retweeted by @SaraCarterDC, posted by an anon:
“So now we have learned from the media that having a Native American great-great-great-great-great-grandparent makes you Native American, but that having two X chromosomes does not make you a woman.”
Anon theory:
“53-47 will be the number of Republican-Democrats holding senate seats after the election”
In that case I won’t take 50-48.
The anons are seriously sliding into popcorn this evening: varieties, recipes, etc.
Everyone needs some Q - stat.
Q said October would be amazing. I was expecting the FISA declas to happen right after Kavanaugh was confirmed. Disappointing. This Kashoggi thing was clearly unexpected and might have changed the schedule a little.

I use quotes, but I would love it if someone could show me how to use italics.
It's OK....Kavanaugh got appointed and backbone and "nuts" appear to be growing with the Repubs
The FISA stuff isn't needed now...will come out later at the appropriate Trumpian time.
I suppose so. It’s hard to complain when things are going so well right now, with the mid terms looking good and the Dems self destructing. It would be nice to see things exposed more quickly but I’ll just have to be a little more patient.

HTML Sandbox Thread has instructions somewhere....
Easy peasy. Just put <i> before the text and </i> after it. You'll also want to add a <p> after that to start a new line.
What I wrote above requires the html:
