A Modest Proposal on What to do with the 9th Circuit Court.
The 9th Circuit Court in its current embodiment is a disaster. The latest constitutional crisis is a perfect example. A rouge judge put a stay on the implementation of an emergency executive order without doing any of the necessary legal groundwork, foundations and augment. This was approved by a panel of three judges also without establishing the necessary legal foundations to support the stay. This is more than just angering, it goes against everything the Constitution stands for. The stay effectively takes power away from the Executive branch and gives them to the judicial branch without Constitutional precedence. These incompetent judges through their arrogance has [1] subverted the Constitution, [2] created a Constitutional crisis and has [3] tied the hands of those who are entrusted with defending the United States.
There is a Constitutional solution to this fiasco. I wish to present it here for consideration;
Whereas, the 9th Circuit Court are empowered in their roles as judges for life, and they are obviously incompetent, or criminally negligent as determined by the frequency of overturning of their judgements, and that Congress has the power to control the shape and structure of the Circuit Courts;
While this modest proposal seems outrageous on its face, it is not. Everything listed above is in complete constitutionality and within the purview of Congress. Implementing this proposal is far less outrageous than some of the rulings that the 9th Circuit has made in the past.
The problem is that all you need is one liberal living there to bring the case. That is why I recommended on other threads that the circuit’s geography represent 1 square foot in a National park, on the top of Mt. McKinley, for example, or better still, on some suitable park pastureland. Then, misbehavin’ judges can get literally, “put out to pasture.”
The way to resolve many of the problems caused by stupid federal judges and politicians is to pass an amendment to require term limits for all judges and all congress critters. Lifetime positions should never have been approved in this country.
