seems they could break off NV&AZ or merge them with other near by circuit.
Also could break off OR,ID, MT, WA and ALASKA making it’s own circuit.
Leave CA and HI to be the looney group.

House Judiciary Committee Approves Legislation to Improve Efficiency of Ninth Circuit
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.
It splits the 9th into 3 divisions North, Central and South
AND a FOURTH DIVISION...the Circuit Division
A Circuit Division which would hear certain cases including where two or more Divisions have reached final decisions of law that conflict.om an earlier thread
