I do not understand what breaking up the 9th Circuit would accomplish.
Breaking up the Ninth leaving the same judges in place accomplishes nothing. Liberals would still have access to the same liberal judges to do their bidding.
It would break the district into 2 smaller ones; and then Trump would nominate conservative judges to round out the benches in both districts.

Judges cannot be fired, but their circuits can be amended. Imagine if the current 9th had its appellate jurisdiction reduced to only cases arising from the area under the footprint of the courthouse and paved surfaces sourcing it. The remaining 9th circuit could be given to the new 14th circuit court, all judges to be appointed by 45.
It will send a much needed message to activist judges around the country, that there will be consequnces to politicizing our courts, and that despite the fact that it has been rarely used, Congress and the Executive branch have considerable power to reign them in.
Would the gov be stuck with two rogue circuit courts? Judges are out of control at all levels in the US. Why would they trust that "conservatives" from LaLa Land wouldn't adhere to these attitudes after appointment?
I've been thinking about the situation. West Coast liberals do not accept that Trump won the election....he didn't out there. These out-of-control judges seem to be doing everything they can to stop the Trump administration from governing.
How the heck does Trump fix that problem? What those judges are doing is a Constitutional Crisis, a refusal to be governed. It's an act of secession. I don't think I'm exaggerating.
Anytime an organization is pulled apart, or reorganized; the corporate culture changes in significant ways. Often, a culture change is the end goal. Based on that, I would be confident of changes — how those changes would manifest themselves in judgments, I couldn’t begin to guess. However, it’s apparent, from countless FR posts, that it’s unlikely things could get worse.
