Solution is simple. The new Congress shall simply not fund the 9th Circuit. Case closed.

In the Wonderland that Alice visited perhaps.

Congress doesn not fund individual circuit courts. It's all or none.

That, however, is thinking outside the box.
The entire circuit court concept can and maybe should be restructured or eliminated.
But we need to grasp the fact that this is now a huge country, and the Supreme Court could not handle all appeals cases as the final arbitrer.

But that's a whole other issue, because there has not been an effective set of checks and balances to deal with a runaway Supreme Court.

Who judges the judges?

We should stop letting the local Senator nominate judges for the Circuit Courts and District Courts. There is no reason to continue the practice. When you see that G. Bush appointed the judge..it doesn’t mean that he selected the judge. Often the judge was selected by a RAT.
