Representative Sensenbrenner has introduced a bill to break up the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Betsy's Page This is a long overdue measure, but I doubt that the Democrats will allow this to pass while Bush is president. Consider, however, these statistics. <<< -- The Ninth has 47 judges, a figure that approaches twice the number of total judges of the next largest circuit. -- The Ninth represents 56-million people, or roughly one- fifth of our nation's population. This is 25-million more people than the second largest circuit. -- The Ninth encompasses nearly 40 percent of the geographic area of the United States. >>> In the past, Congress has been able to create new circuit courts or new judgeships even though that means that the sitting president would get to name new judges. I just don't think, in this environment, that the Democrats would let this pass.
