[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)

But if a new "12th 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 9th and appoint new judges, but still can't keep up with case load.

Part of the reason behind splitting up the 9th 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
