Oh, by the way, one of the 9th Circuit's "scholarly" citations comes from former Chief Justice Warren Burger in which he labels as "a fraud, I repeat the word 'fraud,'" the traditional view that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right. If I remember correctly,Burger was the Supreme Court Justice who once answered his door at night with a cocked 1873 Colt "Peacemaker" revolver pointed at the reporter knocking on the door. A UNREGISTERED and illegal to own in DC handgun. The reporter was there to ask Burger his opinion on a recently passed DC gun law. For some strange unknown reason,there is no record of the DC police ever arrested Burger on gun charges.
I think it's past time to cut the 9th Circuit into three parts, with the current 9th Circuit getting Berkeley, Hollywood and the area directly in-between. The remainder of the current 9th Circuit could be divided between the two new Circuits -- to be filled with Bush nominees.
