Breaking Up the Liberal 9th Circuit Court
Posted on November 7, 2005
Hat tip: Sweet Spirits of Ammonia
We have seen it time after time, what many call the 9th Circus Court rule outrageously liberal decisions that affect controversial changes to our National makeup. We watched as they took God out of the pledge of allegiance, and most recently ruling against parental rights in favor of schools to teach seven year olds about sex. Well some are saying the latest ruling was the last straw.
Calls to split the liberal 9th circuit are being heard again following last week’s bizarre ruling attacking parental rights.
Last week’s ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that said parents have no rights when it comes to what public schools teach their children, has focused attention on legislation that would break the liberal 9th Circuit into two parts. Seven members of the House of Representatives set aside time to express outrage and say they’re not going to take it anymore. Arizona Congressman Trent Franks.
“We have seen the 9th Circuit time and again ignore the Constitution without reverence for the principles that made it what it is, without reverence for families, and if we do not gain control of these out of control courts they will lead this republic into a darkness that we cannot emerge from.”
Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn says changes must be made.
“It is time to break the 9th Circuit apart. It is time to be certain that we address the activism that is taking place on the judicial bench in this country.”
Legislation that could spell the end of the current 9th Circuit was introduced in the House in October. California Congressman Dan Lungren.
“What it does is break the 9th Circuit up into two new circuits. It gives the president the ability to appoint seven new judges to the new 9th Circuit. So the people that are concerned that we would just be “re-liberalizing” the 9th by this breakup should not worry about that so long as the administration does their work on time and the United States Senate as well.”
In all honesty I think a better solution would be to impeach some of these judges who obviously step over the line of interpreting the Constitution into legislating from the bench. However, I’m happy to see something being done about this. I hope the efforts are successful, because something being done about this out of control court is better than nothing. I guess splitting it up will spread things out, and scatter this liberal lockhold, in essense bringing better balance to things, but when will enough be enough? What will it take to clean up the judicial branch with some impeachments where certain judges are clearly going outside the realm of their appointed position?

I heard on the radio that the 9th Circuit en masse is larger than the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Circuits combined.
I prefer impeachment. Judges are fond of using select cases to send messages. Impeaching a few 9th circuit judges would send a powerful message to other judges and courts to honor their oaths to uphold and defend the constitution rather than advancing their liberal agenda and altering the constitution by judicial diktat.

You really can’t please the wingnuts. The court refuses to make up something in the constitution, and they get all hufty.
[...] Could it be that our Republican Congress is finally starting to listen to the American public? I’ve been pleased to see Conservatives actually make their voices heard on the issue of activist judges legislating from the bench, and it appears some in our government have heard the outrage and may. . . MAY. . .do something about it. They’ve responded by writing legislation that would break up the 9th Circuit Court of appeals, thereby paving the way for President Bush to appoint several new judges and at least bring some balance to the court.

My belief is that the 9th Circuit should be abolished and start over again with 3 different courts.
Thomas Jefferson said it best:
“You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. . . .and their power is the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.” Thomas Jefferson
“The court refuses to make up something in the constitution…”
Refuse? That is what they live for! If they had to issue an opinion based on constitutional jurisprudence, their heads would explode!
I have never been ‘hufty’ in my life.
Do you know the purpose and function of wingnuts?
Interesting question Lobo…
It is my understanding that a wingnut is used in conjunction with a bold and sometimes a lockwasher. The combination of the three comprise a fastener to hold two objects together.

Seems as if you’ve read this one.

RaiNews 24’s lies about “white phosphorous flares” used by US Army at Fallujah were peddled to everyone (AdnKronos, AGI, Corriere della Sera, L’Unità, Repubblica) and they are the opening title at Google News. But this “terrible chemical weapon”…
[...] You can bet if the children were subjected to participate in a Christian themed role playing game such as a nativity scene in a Christmas Winter Break play that the Seperation of Church and State Clause of the Living Document would have had precedent. However, since its not Christianity, the 9th Circus found it o.k. to indoctrinate into children. Where is the ACLU on this one? Anyone? How is it that Gideons giving out little new testaments are found as a threat, but teaching children to recite Muslim prayers is not? So they had the choice to opt out, just like voluntary prayer, or reciting the pledge without using “Under God”, but somehow this is different. Please, Congress split this Circus up!

Crossposted from Stop The ACLU While we mainly focus on the ACLU over at Stop The ACLU,we feel obligated to keep everyone aware of other issues as well, especially judicial activism. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is one of…
