Alaskan Sen. Dan Sullivan said Wednesday it’s time to break up the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mr. Sullivan is proposing a bill to break up the circuit, saying it is too big to provide fair and swift justice to citizens under its jurisdiction.
“We think breaking the circuit up, splitting it up so it’s not so huge and [unyielding] is long over due and that’s what my bill would do,” Mr. Sullivan said on Fox News.
The Alaska Republican is a former clerk for the 9th Circuit Court and said he saw “delayed decisions and often sloppy legal reasoning,” which he calls “fast-food justice.”
“It’s so big that they’ve taken these fast-food justice procedural shortcuts that no other court in the country uses,” Mr. Sullivan said.
In his bill, California, Hawaii and the American Territories would be split into their own court, and the remaining states would stay part of the 9th Circuit Court.
