US. Senators Introduces Bill To Break Up The 9th Circuit Court

ARRA News Service: Fox News' Barnini Chakraborty reported yesterday that "Republicans push bill to split up 'nutty 9th Circuit'."
. . . Republican Sens. Jeff Flake and John McCain of Arizona introduced legislation last month to carve six states out of the San Francisco-based court circuit and create a brand new 12th Circuit.

They argue that the 9th is too big, too liberal and too slow resolving cases. If they succeed, only California, Oregon, Hawaii and two island districts would remain in the 9th's judicial fiefdom.

Right now, Flake said, the circuit is far too sprawling.

"It represents 20 percent of the population -- and 40 percent of the land mass is in that jurisdiction. It's just too big," Flake told Fox News on Wednesday. "We have a bedrock principle of swift justice and if you live in Arizona or anywhere in the 9th Circuit, you just don't have it."

Flake says it typically takes the court 15 months to hand down a decision.

"It's far too long," he added. . . .

The court has a reputation as one of the most liberal in the country, in large part because of its makeup. Eighteen of the court's 25 active judges have been appointed by Democrats. Former President George W. Bush appointed six justices, while former President Barack Obama appointed seven.Under Flake's bill, the new circuit would cover Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona and Alaska, leaving the 9th with three Pacific states as well as the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam.

A separate House version introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs and four other Arizona Republicans would leave Washington state in the 9th Circuit.

Congressional efforts to split the circuit go back to 1941.

"The problem is the judges in the 9th Circuit, particularly the liberal judges, don't want to give up any of their jurisdiction," Flake said. . . .
Ethan Sabo on Kevin Jackson's The BlackShere expressed frustration over the 9th Circuit Court:
"In what amounts to sedition, the 9th Circuit overturned President Trump's executive order that protects American citizens against dangerous Muslim radicals from 7 countries.

The citizens of 46 other Muslim countries can travel to America based on the order, however the court found a way around siding with U.S. taxpaying citizens.

As Alan Dershowitz declared, the Trump administration will win the case in the Supreme Court. The problem is how many bad characters are now scrambling to get to America to do us harm.

Because of the gross judicial misconduct by the 9th Circuit, some argue that it must be disbanded. Part of the argument is the court is too big, too liberal and too slow in resolving cases."
