9th Circuit is a rogue court

Can they be broken up?

Yes & I'm pretty sure it's on Trump's radar

leave it to hippies and mexicans to think that their regional kangaroo courts can usurp the authority of the president.

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.

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).

Frankly I would try to split the Ninth into three.

California, Hawaii, Guam, and Northern Marianas as one, probably Washington and Oregon as the second, then the remaining states which are generally rural like Alaska, Montana, Arizona, Nevada, etc. as the last one.

The 9th Circus Court is getting spanked.

The 9th must be disbanded

Or expanded = imagine if Trump would just assign another 30 judges to the 9th circuit and make all of them 30 yr old Scalia wannabes. Let the current justices sit in the corner and vent their spleens with meaningless dissents to the conservative rulings !!!!

1. Trump lacks that authority, but Congress could do so.
2. Congress would have to add the same number of judges to each court. You would get wailing from spending hawks and democrats would assail it as a court packing scheme, but it would probably be a great benefit to the entire nation by potentially greatly speeding up the dockets nation-wide.

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."

I forget they did some last minute changes, what were they?

They put a stay on part of the injunction to allow for the review to take place despite allowing the rest of the injunction to remain in place. IE: they ended up saying the government was free to review their visa and refugee processes, but could not ban mussies while they did 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...
