A Modest Proposal on What to do with the 9th Circuit Court.

The 9th Circuit Court in it’s 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;

  1. The territory that falls under the purview of the 9th Circuit Court is to change and from now on be strictly limited to the Aleutian Islands,
  2. Three new circuit courts are to be created to cover the former territory that remains after removal from the 9th Circuit Court’s purview, sans the Aleutian Islands.
  3. All of the 9th Circuit Judges, shall maintain and keep their lifetime roles as judges in the town of Adak on Adak Island.
  4. Renovation of the former military barracks on the island shall be authorized by Congress but shall be in alignment with the quality of the judge’s legal ability.
  5. Congress shall appoint new young conservative and libertarian judges with a strong belief in the constitutional principles established by our constitution to the three new circuit courts that are spawned from the realigning of the 9th Circuit Court.

While this modest proposal seems outrageous on it’s 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.
