I guess I could ask you why you are here also.

My comment was more along the lines of the historical and equitable utility of the 9th in their rulings. Given so vast an area with very widely differing populations throughout its large realm and all the political, social and freedom concerns cannot be the same, nor can one expect a radical court (my opinion) from SF be expected to give equitable service (although its 7 states are being inundated with transplants and illegals bringing the same kind of issues with them).

To my mind it’s an extra impediment to rulings that actually need decision by the USSC. I know it cannot be disestablished in reality; to that end I guess I’d settle for splitting it up.

So large an area encompassing

I see we both have been here since Clinton impeachment days. Those were the days when I could read every article (and comment) here and still have time for work and play! I'm still here because I haven't given up hope in our nation being restored to embrace what I've come to call America's Principles. The best statement of those principles is the platform at self-government.us.
