Trump needs to run on a “Give me back the house (bigly) and a stronger senate majority and I’ll split the 9th Circuit into two (or three) circuits (AZ up to MT plus Eastern and Southern CA as one, WA, OR, AK, HI, Guam and Marianas as a second and Northern and Southern CA (LA and SF Bay area) left as the 9th). That would give California 2 circuits, one the crazy lefties we know now and a new circuit governing from Redding down to San Diego that would be decidedly Conservative. This would put a huge check on what laws stay on the books in Sacramento. Any law they pass could be challenged in Fresno and overturned for at least that part of the state.
Yes, those are the battle lines.
No doubt you are correct about it.
