The Claremont Institute: Balancing the Ninth

There is a lack of balance on the Ninth Circuit, but it is not the one Senator Barbara Boxer would have us all believe. Of the 25 active judges currently serving on the court, 18 were appointed by Democrats (4 by President Carter and 14 by President Clinton). Only 7 were appointed by Republican Presidents (3 by President Reagan, 4 by the President George H. W. Bush). Even with the appointment of people like Cox and Kuhl, Democrat appointments will retain a 2 to 1 margin on the court, and given the high number of appointments made by President Clinton — 50% of the total seats authorized on the court — it will be a long time before that imbalance even begins to be corrected.

Population in each circuit:

1st- 9.9 mil
2nd- 2.3 mil
3rd- 21.5 mil
4th- 26.2 mil
5th- 28.3 mil
6th- 31.1 mil
7th- 23.9 mil
8th- 19.3 mil
9th- 54.3 mil
10th- 15.1 mil
11th-28.7 mil

If CA with 33.9 mil were split off to another circuit by itself, the 10th would be reduced to 20.4 mil
