Bill Introduced To Break Up The Liberal Court

Republicans are now pushing to break up the liberal ninth circuit court which is the most reversed court in the country. Republican Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain have introduced legislation to “carve six states out of the San Francisco-based court circuit and create a brand new 12th Circuit,” according to Fox News.
The argument that they make is that the court is too big, too liberal and too slow in resolving cases.
From Fox News:

“It represents 20 percent of the population — and 40 percent of the land mass is in that jurisdiction. It’s just too big,” Flake told Fox News on Wednesday. “We have a bedrock principle of swift justice and if you live in Arizona or anywhere in the 9^th Circuit, you just don’t have it.”…
…Conservatives have mocked the 9^th Circuit for years, often calling it the “Nutty 9^th” or the “9^th Circus,” in part because so many of its rulings have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. 
The court has a reputation as one of the most liberal in the country, in large part because of its makeup. Eighteen of the court’s 25 active judges have been appointed by Democrats. Former President George W. Bush appointed six justices, while former President Barack Obama appointed seven.
