Ninth Circuit Split
I was surprised to see the listing of a bill on today’s agenda to split the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Press was reporting that this issue would not come up during this busy year but would be considered next year. The overwhelming majority of Ninth Circuit judges oppose the split and the majority of Senators representing States within the Ninth Circuit oppose the split. I will certainly want to hear from the senior Senator from California on this measure. This is another issue that seems to surface during election years.
