Breaking up this crop of liberal leftists is critical and long overdue. Arizona falls under their jurisdiction and I've watched for years as they've repeatedly ruled against pro-American policies (Az SB1070 most notably) and the Constitution in favor of an anti-American agenda.

What they've done now is par for the course for the 9th circus.

Adding a court to reflect the demographics today makes sense. How about a quality control mechanism. Every year the court's record of review should be scrutinized. If a judge has been on the "wrong side" (using the Supreme Court as the arbiter or the "right side") more than 50% of the time s/he should be removed from the court and replaced. As the Ninth is overturned 80+ per cent of the time, the court would quickly be replaced with judges more in line with the Supreme Court and the Constitution (whether SCOTUS and the Constitution are in line with one another is another question -- which hopefully will be answered and remedied in the near (Trump) term)

Breaking up the 9th Circus Court of Appeals wouldn't have made any difference to the fate of Trump's Executive Order on immigration. The Dimocrats would have found a liberal judge in the region where the 9th Circus has jurisdiction, and made their play there. The whole thing was planned by the Dimocrats all the way, and they got the better of Trump in this case. But Trump will be back with a better Executive Order as he learns to play the game to beat entrenched establishment elites.

Breaking up the 9th Circus may be a good starting point, but maybe a Constitutional remedy is available? The 9th Circus is reversed by the Supreme Court about 80% of the time, so maybe a smart Constitutional attorney can figure out how to impeach judges that obviously aren't trying to apply existing law.

Evidently swearing to uphold the Constitution means little or nothing to any libtard progressive..
That must be because the Constitution means little or nothing to any libtard progressive in the first place.

whether you split it or not...the area still represents a philosophy that is anti-liberty, anti-freedom, anti-reason, and anti-republic...you just get two courts that mirror one another...

That the Ninth Circuit has 20 percent of the population, certainly gives grounds to split it down the middle and create a new circuit taking half the population of the old. But the real problem is the rules of Senate courtesy. The Ninth is dominated by leftist appellate judges because leftist Senators predominate in that Circuit and have for decades. The new Twelfth Circuit would have conservatives predominating in its Senate delegation.

The Constitution gives federal judges lifetime tenure unless impeached. But if the 9th circuit is split, I assume judges now on it would either stay there or move to the new 12th circuit, based on where they live. If Trump and Congress handle the split skillfully, this could result in new judges having a majority in BOTH circuits.

FWIW, here are some federal judges whose impeachment was considered in Congress. It happened, but not very often.

I would vote for breaking up the union into two parts. One part which likes and honors the original constitution, and the other which is socialist. Let the residents move around to select where they wanted to live.

It appears that they want to shrink the jurisdiction, not break up the court. Depending on what is appointed to a new one we could wind up with two circuses.
