Unfortunately, the Scotus cannot hear all appeals from the 9th Circus. Congress should (yeah, I know it will never happen) should limit the 9th’s jurisdiction to a couple Oregon counties and let the rest of the circuit return to sanity.

I had heard they were going to break this circuit up the 9th: Hawaii, California, and Oregon and the rest would be put in a new circuit. Is that a rumor or fact?

I maybe wrong about the alignment, I do know that Montana and Idaho was going to be re-aligned because I dream of living there but won’t as long as the 9th has jurisdiction and/or is made up of libs.
