President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he is considering splitting up the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit after its recent rulings that have blocked two of his executive orders.

"There are many people that want to break up the Ninth Circuit. It's outrageous," Trump said to the Washington Examiner in an interview at the White House. "Everybody immediately runs to the Ninth Circuit. And we have a big country. We have lots of other locations. But they immediately run to the Ninth Circuit. Because they know that's like, semi-automatic."

Good! The sooner the better.

and then he’s going to drain the swamp and build the wall.

[Pelham]

Executing the whole bunch would be more to my liking.

But that’s just me.

[McGavin999]

They are the laughingstock of the country. Today, in a room full of Governors the 9th was mentioned and the room broke out in laughter

[lgjhn23]

He needs to smash it all to hell. Smash it up into about 15 pieces with conservative justices in all of em. The way it is now is a joke....and a bad one at that. They asked for it, give it to em, Trump.

A democrat will file papers with the Circus and they would rule that he has to leave them alone.

[virgil]

Are they going to block their own break up? They’re out of control.

Trump needs to pack the Circus. It’s the only way. States beyond HI, CA, OR, WA need to be transferred to to real jurisprudencem.

[Organic Panic]

DO IT! FDR packed the courts to get all his commie policies passed.

[Yosemitest]

If they’re Federal Judges and not appointed for life, then Trump can demand their Resignation and replace every one of them.

[Postman]

You are not alone.

[FreedomStar3028]

They’ll just rule it unconstitutional because they said so.

“and then he’s going to drain the swamp and build the wall.”

Yeah, it’s too bad Hillary isn’t president. She’d be draining the swamp and building the wall.

Hold your fire. It’s only been 97 days.

[central_va]

A well placed BLU-82B Daisy Cutter would do the job, nicely.

[heights]

Wanna bet he won’t follow through?

[OftheOhio]

It’s long since past time to steamroll this bunch, teach them a bit about Andrew Jackson.

Question:

Why does the president have anything to say whatsoever about the jurisdiction of our inferior courts when the Constitution says that shall be established by Congress? I am aware that the practice has been to set these things by statute which, of course, requires the president's signature but am I missing something in the Constitution somewhere?

[Luircin]

By introducing the idea into the national consciousness, it starts the proverbial ball rolling.

[taildragger]

If my talk show listening and readings are correct, it is not a break up of the 9th, but a whole new circuit to make the 9th smaller. This new Court I think might be OR, Washington, Alaska, maybe Hawaii. Discussed here on FR, and I think ideas were floated for some rough and very cold place in Alaska for it's location ;-)....

[nathanbedford]

Yes, indeed he is and I fully approve of what Trump is trying to do to bring the Ninth Circuit back into a sane world. My question is a matter of interpretation of the Constitution.
