In two simple moves, why doesn’t Trump issue an EO to dump the 9th court and appoint all their replacements.

I guess in theory he could do that....he would need the Senate to confirm them to be seated....

That would not be very prudent or wise....

Not really sure we want Trump to start acting like a banana republic head of state or set a precedent for future POTUS do the same...

Do you not understand the Constitution? The Judicial branch does not respond to Executive branch orders. Only the Legislative branch can change the jurisdictions of Federal courts.

Sounds like you want an all-powerful dictator.
