9th Circuit is a rogue court

I forget they did some last minute changes, what were they? The political left activists must have just known they would be shamed by SCOTUS again.

quote:

---

What can be done with a court that makes decisions that have nothing to do with rule of law or precedent?

---

Have their rulings overturned at the next level. Judges are appointed for life and cannot be fired, but they can be impeached by Congress. This has only happened like once in the history of the United States.

quote:

---

Can they be broken up?

---

Yes. Congress has the power to create circuit courts and define their jurisdiction. They can be created, disbanded, reshaped, split, etc.

John McCain introduced a bill earlier this year to split the 9th circuit in two, not because of it's insane rulings and high overturn percentage at SCOTUS, but because it has the largest population of any circuit and by far the largest backlog of cases.

By splitting the circuit into two, the judges would be assigned to each based on where they reside. The extra judges need to fill the remaining seats could be filled by appointment by the sitting president (i.e. Trump gets to stack the deck with conservative judges to either flip or at least narrow the gap in the 9th circuit and the new one that would be created).

The 9th Circuit is indeed a rogue court, untethered to any sense of the Constitution or law. Judicial independence is one thing, but judicial independence from the Constitution and the rule of law is another.

Or--maybe not.

Sure you probably don't like to read--but if you get an urge--here is an article on the American Bar Association website.

Excerpt: "When the subject of Supreme Court reversal rates
arises, two common perceptions usually come to
mind. First, the Ninth Circuit is the “rogue circuit.”
Second, the Supreme Court only takes cases that it intends to
reverse. An empirical study of Supreme Court dispositions
of cases from the courts of appeals during the last 10 Terms
reveals that neither of these common perceptions is true."

Not sure what you mean by this. What SCOTUS approved is not what the 9th Circuit struck down. It is markedly different.

In some ways, SCOTUS agreed that the original EO was not acceptable. They didn't affirm the EO. They affirmed a modified version of it.

They all need to be removed/ disbarred. They aren't upholding the constitution, they are just political appointments/Hacks. Anyone could see this is what the President's job "Is", and who can enforce these rules...Court has no authority, or a means to enforce these rules. It's so dumb, that action needs to be taken against the ninth for their activism against the Constitution...

Leave them right where they are

they show the mainstream American what can happen when liberals are allowed to make decisions.


they are the best political advertisement we could hope for.

They can and should be split into two circuits. Should have already happened. Trump needs to take care of this while he is in office and has the House and Senate to do it.

LOL, Obama's cronies knew where to go shopping....9th, New York, Maryland, and Hawaii. There's a reason they didn't go judge shopping in a place like Texas.
