#1 Might I humbly suggest that the NEW 9th circuit continue to be based in San Francisco, and the OLD 9th circuit and all of it's staff be situated somewhere on Alaska's North Slope.

#3 No DMFD, I live in Washington. Let LALA Land and Berkeley have the existing (old) judges. Cut us loose with halfway decent (conservative) judges who intrepet the consitution and not legislate from the bench.

#4 I like this also. And creating the new judgeships makes it nearly irresistible for the Congress. And Bush gets a two-fer: the 9th Circuit's impact becomes more limited, and he gets to fill those new judgeships. Heh.

#5 let the old court oversee Hawaii, San Fran, Oregon, No. Cal and the rest goes to the new court. Pack it with true westerners, not the non-fat latte and same-sex marriage crowd

#6 "No-fat latte, dogs and cats living together..."

#7 Thank G-d!! Finally, some chance for sharpening the "tools" in the old shed; or, better yet, let's float the damn thing out to sea, somewhere near that watery vortex that leads straight to the Center of the Earth and all of those other cool dinosaurs, just like in the movies.

Mmm...death by obsidian-tipped spear...(lip-smacking with drool)...mmm....

#8 The old 9th Circuit should be limited to Berkeley and no where else.

#9 This is truly sweet. The House Pubs really do have stones. Mebbe they can share with the Senate.

#10 The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday approved dividing the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court

This will be very big..IF we can ~~find~~ rent enough RINO senators some stones. Watch the dimmmiecrats & msm traitors have shit conniptions aplenty trying to weasel some picks themselves.

#11 split the old justices in both courts so they are an elderly minority...

#12 Cut California in half, please.

#13 vertically or horizontally?

#14 vertically and horizontally - Orange County and San Diego along with all interior counties (Kern, Imp., SB, etc) have common sense and decent judges (with the exceptions noted)

#15 This is not the first time a circuit has been split: the Fifth Circuit used to also take in the Eleventh.

It's a matter of efficient judicial administration and nothing more. The Ninth Circuit is just too bloody big.
