This is one big-ass circuit court. It should be carved up.

this circuit needs to be cut into 3 pieces .. with good quality new judges appointed...ASAP. the circuit is humungously large, impractical, does not do litigants justice imho

With every conservative appointed, more decisions will be conservative, requiring the whole en-banc 9th Circuit to have to convene to overturn on appeal. That should slow down the craziness at least slightly.

Excellent. They need a few sane judges who follow the law.

Just because they have an “R” after their name...don’t mean crap to me.

“This is one big-ass circuit court. It should be carved up.”

It should. Not gonna happen, though, unless the GOP gets big majorities in both houses of Congress.

It seems like you can always count on the ‘rat appointed judges toeing the party line, but not the GOP appointed ones.

“With every conservative appointed, more decisions will be conservative”

In twenty years this nation will be brown and left despite what previous Freepers said about Hispanics being ‘natural conservatives’. When they run out of white peoples money that’s the end. Plan accordingly.

The “R” stands for Resistance.

There are congressional edicts on the books and waiting for a GOP house to split the ninth......add an additional circuit to overview all the others....and mandate annual physicals.
Posting from cell....will load references later.

The Ninth Circuit should be broken up. But I can’t see it happening.

The legislation to do it is unlikely to pass without a provision that would put the nominations and assignments to any new court carved out of the Ninth to be left to the administration that follows the administration that approves that legislation.

That would make the political benefits of breaking up the Ninth dubious.

Continuing to appoint better justices to the Ninth as Trump has been doing, is likely the only practical and realistic way it can be reformed. In that regard, ignoring “blue slip” holds on candidates by Senators is essential. Single Senators have no Constitutional power to command the “advice and consent” authority of the Senate all on their own.

This is one big-ass circuit court.

I wonder how it got this way... was it some liberal administration's essentially "packing" an existing conservative court?

What would it take to split this court into 2 or 3?

After what we have seen out of Roberts and other losers,a Republican judge can be no better than the liberal he/she replaces.

Excellent! The fact that mattress back Harris and ChiSpy DiFi opposed it means we can have confidence in this appointment.
