This is actually long overdue!
If you look at this map of the geographical boundaries of the US Courts, you'll see the 9th is huge.
It was created when a lot FEWER Americans lived in the West, so making two, maybe even three courts of this territory makes sense.
AND, we'd have the benefit of breaking up a high level court that's out of step with the others in their constant liberalism. AND Trump would get to appoint a whole bunch of judges--especially conservative judges.
And there's even something in it for McCain. Of course there has to, why else would he do this?
What that would be is a shiny new US Court of Appeals headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with perhaps Trump allowing McCain to appoint some close friends to this bench. Just be CAREFUL Donald... McCain friends need extreme vetting!
Excellent idea,great graphics as well,thanks.
The 9th should be broken into 3 parts: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska into the new 10th, Arizona and Nevada as the 11th and California and Hawaii as the 9th...
