John McCain can still take flying leap, though.
Works for me.
Not clear on where McCain fits in, but I wholeheartedly agree with your position.
Love I #nutty ninth
Flake isn’t too much better.
They need to throw in the Western District of Washington, as well. Might as well throw those Seattle liberals in with the other liberals in California and Oregon. Swap it for the ED California - leave them with the conservative districts.
Let’s have Montana out of the 9th!
Just for show. There is nothing they can do here. The power to break it up rest with SCOTUS who must recommend before any action can be taken.
Still too big.................
Great news.
I would like to see this circus split. What does McCain get out of this. the new court will be seated in Phoenix?
A better idea would be to create a new 12th Circuit just for California and Oregon, pack it with conservative judges and let them go to work on the backlog of cases to overturn bad CA laws.
The existing 9th circuit could be house-cleaned of the worst liberals easily enough by moving them to Boise or Pocatello, ID.
Yeah, I don’t trust McCain or Flake either, but even a blind squirrel will find an occasional acorn.
***IF*** McCain can focus on the real enemy and learn to keep his yap shut on all else, he might prove to be useful.
But that’s a big ***IF***.
Splitting up the court won’t solve the problem of leftist judge shopping. If anything, it could make things worse, creating an even more extremist, anti-Constitutional court.
“Republican Sens. Jeff Flake and John McCain of Arizona introduced legislation last month to carve six states out of the San Francisco-based court circuit and create a brand new 12th Circuit. “
Falke and McCain???? This is a shock, but hey, even a broken clock is right two times a day.
Hopefully, Calexit will go into into reality, costing the libs 2 $inators and about a dozen or more liberal Congre$$its.
Then, we can spin off the conservative state of Jefferson with the conservative counties in California, Oregon and eastern Washington counties. That will give us 2 more conservative Senators and several congressmen.
Then, the liberal parts of Oregon, Washington and all of Hawaii can join CalExit.
That will cost the rats 6 more $inators and probably a dozen+ congressits.
The rat party nationwide would never win another presidential elections.
Losing 8 rat $inators and Congre$$its would be the death of their party re national elections and any control of congress.
Then, maybe we will see an east coast exit with NY and the lib states down to DC.
They don't want us, and our feeling is the same. We don't need these coastal liberal hell holes. Let them open their borders and pay for their new "citizens"!
Instead of splitting it and having a fight he should just double the number of Judges in it.
Harry Reid gave Trump all the votes (51) he needs to stack the court...just like FDR did.
I guess I would prefer we move some states into the other courts. The 8th and 10th courts are small. We could just peal away several states into those courts.
The reality is that the 9th court could be only California. Maybe stick one other state in there so its not a state court. But California alone makes it a bigger than average court.
Amend the splitting bill to block judicial authority over Trump’s refugee pause, which the Constitution also allows.
It’s time to start appointing activist Conservative Judges... it’s stupid for us to play by the rules and for democrats to appoint ‘legislators’ in every Court House in the Country.
