Oh yes....I would really LOVE to see that happen. Let the liberal court rule over the extremists of our Nation...and let another court make decisions that are much closer to what the majority of American's want to see decided.

Dems Oppose Republican Move to Split the Ninth Circuit

(CNSNews.com) -
On a day when another "activist" ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had conservatives fuming, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi stood up for the court, opposing a Republican plan to split it in two.
A Republican proposal to split the liberal, San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has made its way into a must-pass House budget reconciliation bill, much to Democrats' dismay.
The Ninth Circuit covers nine states and is the largest of all U.S. circuit courts. Nicknamed the "Ninth Circus" by conservative critics, it is the same court that ruled the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional because of the phrase "under God."
Earlier this week, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled that parents have no "fundamental right' to protest what public schools tell their children about sex. The case stemmed from a sex survey given to elementary school children in Palmdale, Calif.
The conservative group Focus on the Family called Wednesday's ruling "one of the most abhorrent examples of judicial tyranny in American history."
AND imo, it IS. Taking more and more parental rights away from families
But on Thursday, House Minority Leader Pelosi said Republicans, in trying to split the Ninth Circuit, are attacking "an independent judiciary."
"On the merits, there is no justification for the Republican court splitting proposal. It is simply a partisan exercise to appease the radical right," Pelosi said in a press release.
Pelosi said the move to split the court would come at "tremendous cost" to U.S. taxpayers. "This proposal is simply unacceptable, and I will continue to oppose it," she added.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) this week warned House Republicans not to include split-the-court language in the budget reconciliation bill. She said the split would be unfair, because a newly configured Ninth Circuit would have many more cases per judge than a newly created Twelfth Circuit. Moreover, Feinstein said, a court-splitting provision has nothing to do with the budget and therefore should not be included in the budget bill. She said she would raise a point of order if the language were included.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is considering a proposal to split the Ninth Circuit in two, something that would require President Bush to appoint more judges.
OH yes, happy dance.
The new Ninth Circuit would include California, Hawaii, Guam, and the North Marianas Islands,
while the new Twelfth Circuit would cover Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.

Great attempt at drawing attention away from the other threads where you can't answer questions
" North Marianas Islands, "
Ya, the place where Tom Delay advocated sweatshops and forced abortions....

Theu are doing what the law appoints them to do, and and House Minority Leader Pelosi says, "Republicans, in trying to split the Ninth Circuit, are attacking "an independent judiciary."
She's unhappy, OK, but she should try to understand her job and what it's responsibilities and authority are. This qualifies as mis-information and rabble-rousing.
Rep. Pelosi should be censured.
And to respond to the leftist nammer heads here in advance, so two wrongs make a right?

parklane - I'm sure you're aware that most of the rulings, that end up at the USSC doorsteps, are overturned...because they weren't decided in a properly legal manner. Right? I think last time I read their decisions were overturned 9 out of 10 times.
Pretty embarrassing record, if you ask me. Shows that by being divided they might get some more reasonable decisions out of the 'other half'. Not waste so much of our tax dollars on the USSC appeals.
