Trump 'absolutely' looking at breaking up 9th Circuit
2017-04-28
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President Trump said Wednesday that he has "absolutely" considered proposals that would split up the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, where judges have blocked two of his executive actions.

"Absolutely, I have," Trump said of considering 9th Circuit breakup proposals during a far-ranging interview with the Washington Examiner at the White House. "There are many people that want to break up the 9th Circuit. It's outrageous."

"Everybody immediately runs to the 9th Circuit. And we have a big country. We have lots of other locations. But they immediately run to the 9th Circuit. Because they know that's like, semi-automatic," Trump said.

His comments came one day after U.S. District Judge William Orrick temporarily blocked Trump's efforts to withhold funds from any municipality that refuses to cooperate with immigration enforcement officers. Orrick, based in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
, argued that Trump had overstepped his authority in January when he directed the Justice Department to put immigration-related conditions on grants for so-called sanctuary cities that may not be directly related to law enforcement. The case, if appealed, would go before the 9th Circuit.

#9  Put term limits on Federal Judges. 8 years and your out.

#8  Make it so that these judges can be 'impeached' by their districts. Any judge so impeached automatically sentenced to life in prison without parole. Make it so that no other judge may rule on these matters and any attempt to do so is considered treason and they are considered automatically removed from office.

Time for these black robed tyrants to FOAD.

#7  How can a federal judge make a ruling which impacts the entire country? Its obvious that they shopped around for that judge in Hawaii (who have had *zero* refugees).

#6  He said the greatest danger to the judiciary is if people begin to perceive that judges are advancing an agenda that they personally have instead of enforcing the law.

Too late.

#5  None of these arguments from these lobotomized parrots are lawful. Over-riding POTUS on every issue?

Damn them.
This is the very reason the POTUS has Plenary power.

Separate California and Oregon lunatics from the Western states. You should end up with three or even four circuits.

Different issues, different representation.

#4  Just heard AG Sessions talking about it on CBS. He said the greatest danger to the judiciary is if people begin to perceive that judges are advancing an agenda that they personally have instead of enforcing the law.

#1  Unless you live out west, you may not catch what is gong on there in that Circuit. It's very all california and no other state.

I want it broken to rep the more "poor" immigration states and Freerangers, farmers, and anything but these asshole agents of eternal taxation and doom.

These States deserve equal Representation - not overules for Idiot political Judges.

These people are really hurting and they have absolutely no legal representation on the higher end of the Fudal System set up by fuckers who never did shit but irritate people for a living.
