"You see judge shopping, or what's gone on with these people, they immediately run to the 9th Circuit," Trump said.

President Trump said Wednesday that he has "absolutely" considered proposals that would split up the 9th Circuit, where judges have blocked two of his executive actions.

"Absolutely, I have," Trump said of considering 9th circuit breakup proposals during a far-ranging interview with the Washington Examiner at the White House on Wednesday. "There are many people that want to break up the 9th Circuit. It's outrageous."

"Everybody immediately runs to the 9th Circuit. And we have a big country. We have lots of other locations. But they immediately run to the 9th Circuit. Because they know that's like, semi-automatic," Trump said.

Have Congress restrict the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction to Guam and create a new Circuit for the Left Coast stuffed with conservative judges picked by Trump.

Then, grab popcorn.

It should be added as a parliamentary requirement to the House rules stipulating that the Judiciary Committee must submit a Bill of Impeachment for any judge in a majority opinion reversed or remanded more than three times by the SCOTUS.

Parliamentary rules are not subject to review by judges.

I like the idea. Wonder if this is a legislative change or requires constitutional amendment?

Give them Guam and California. And move their courthouse to Guam.

Please do not President Trump divide the 9th circuit.

It would be like cutting a cow pie in half. Now you have two cow pies to rake up instead of just one

After you divide them they can play really nasty games. E.G. cow pie 1 says you can do x. Cow pie 2 says you cannot do x. That allows a disagreement between circuits which now can allow the case to go to the Supremes.

Think of the mischief the nuts on the left could with that power.
