So there are two bills (House and Senate) that are looking to break up the 9th, saying it is too big and too liberal. Both would leave Oregon (sorry), in the 9th With CA and HI. One would put Washington in the new 12th circuit with AK, NV, ID, MT and AZ (fingers crossed), and the other would leave it in the 9th.

Would we see a change in 2A related rulings in the new 12th?
How would this impact WA gun rights?
How would this impact OR gun rights?
Would this have any impact considering the 9th is the most overturned appeals court in the country?

Republicans push bill to split up 'nutty 9th Circuit'
 
Whatever the best solution may be, it is extremely important to select US Senators who are responsible for confirming Presidential Federal Court Candidates. It is up to us.

But ... the 9th has become what it is because too many non deserving or non qualified folks VOTE. The core problem will take years or decades to correct ... if ever. Sad. :(
 
What I would do...

1. Completely disestablish the Ninth, like the Romans used to do to dishonored Legions. Its number is GONE, never to be used again and spoken of only as a cautionary tale. This has the net effect of firing all its judges, also, since once seated the only way to get rid of them is to either impeach (GOOD LUCK!) or downsize the Court they're on.
2. Create a new 13th Circuit just for California, Hawaii and Pacific Island Territories.
3. Divide the remainder of the Ninth plus Utah into new Twelfth and Fourteenth Circuits.

Net result: One crooked old Ninth Circus forever destroyed, three shiny new Circuits not bound by any Circuit precedence to staff from clean slates. All those decades of insanity wiped away in one fell swoop...

Hey, a guy can dream, right?
