[What Trump needs to do is to have congress create a new federal appeals district...]

Yesterday Lou Dobbs answered a similar idea to break up the 9th with... ‘all you would doing is creating several liberal districts’. (paraphrase)

[Yo-Yo]

But if a new "12^th District" is created, who gets to appoint and/or reassign the judges? It wouldn't have to be another liberal district. Trump could cheery pick the conservatives from the 9^th and appoint new judges, but still can't keep up with case load.

Part of the reason behind splitting up the 9^th is because it is so large it can't even hold an en banc hearing with all judges.

Bill to remove Nevada, 5 other states from ‘nutty 9th’ Circuit Court may be gaining favor
