Damn, it’s really nice to finally have a president with some balls!
These three need to be pushed through before the election.
Every time I read something like this, it takes me back to before the election, with so many people saying, “But he’s not a conservative!” To which I’d reply, “He would probably agree, but he is an American first and that’s good enough for me.”
“Instead of ‘working with our office’to identify consensus nominees for the 9th Circuit, the White House continues to try to pack the courts with partisan judges who will blindly support the President’s agenda, instead of acting as an independent check on this Administration,”...... Lily Adams, Harris’ communications director, said in a statement.....
I believe there was a process involved in the Kavanaugh hearing...I remember both Harris and Feinstein trashing it. There are consequences to trashing the process.

Remember how bad it sucked under the Obamanation with Pelosi and Reid, then savor the schadenfreude of their powerlessness....
“Defies?” What a stupid comment. Trump is President, and invested with sole Constitutional power to make appointments to the bench. It’s the Senate that “defies” the President by refusing to confirm his appointees.
Blue slips should go the way of blue laws. I don’t recall anything in our Constitution for Senators’ input, outside of advise and consent. Blue slips were merely a way to defang the power of the Presidency.
Trump is nominating Constitutionalists, not activists who will legislate from the bench. That is what the Dems are afraid of......an end to ignoring the Constitution.
I like it. Let's make it stick.
fifty years ago the 9th circuit was the most respected court in the country.
Oh, the WINNING feels SO GOOD!!
So the decision when to actually retire from the bench is left up to each individual judge I suppose. So like the SCOTUS, they can stay on until they die.
Thanks to both of you
It’s not originalist judges that we need. It’s originalist congress members we need who will willingly impeach and remove judges who write law.
when is the vote?
Washington, D.C. – The House Judiciary Committee today approved by a vote of 16-5 the Court Imbalance Restructure Concerning Updates to Impacted Tribunals (CIRCUIT) Act of 2018, H.R. 6754. This bill, authored by Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Subcommittee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), modifies the structure of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The federal courts of appeal have regularly expanded in number and split in response to new states and territories being added to the Union as well as population growth. There are currently 12 regional circuits in addition to the Federal Circuit. The Ninth Circuit is the largest circuit in caseload, population, and geography.
The CIRCUIT Act would implement the 1998 White Commission’s recommendation to create three regional divisions within the Ninth Circuit in order to improve judicial efficiency.
The divisions would include a Northern Division, comprised of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington,
, a Middle Division comprised of the existing Northern and Eastern Districts of California, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Northern Marianas,
a Southern Division comprised of Arizona and the existing Central and Southern Districts of California, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Subcommittee Chairman Issa praised today’s approval of the CIRCUIT Act in the statements below.
Chairman Goodlatte: “For the past several decades, the size of the Ninth Circuit has continued to grow far in excess of other circuits. Twenty percent of the U.S. population now resides in this circuit with nine states and two territories, making it twice the size of any other circuit. The geographic breadth and workload of the Ninth Circuit makes it challenging for parties and their counsel to have timely court dates in their region. “The CIRCUIT Act does not include an outright split of the Ninth Circuit but instead creates regional divisions in an effort to ensure our federal judiciary is functioning in the fairest and most efficient manner for the citizens it serves. I thank Subcommittee Chairman Issa for introducing this legislation and am pleased the Committee has passed it today.”
Subcommittee Chairman Issa: “Currently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the largest of the 13 federal appellate courts and, on average, hears about a quarter of the nation’s cases brought before the appellate courts in a given year. For years, many have called for this court to be divided, but there remains widespread disagreement on how those divisions should be made. The CIRCUIT Act is a step toward making this needed change.
By dividing the Ninth Circuit into regional divisions that effectively function as individual appellate courts, we open the door to determining whether a circuit split would be feasible while, at the same time, preserve the current Ninth Circuit as a single appellate court.”
