I don't think it makes sense to abolish the 9th Federal Circuit Court SCPO Morris Ramsey rather I think it makes sense to reapportion the states that are encompassed by each circuit court. The 9th certainly has the largest area. I am posting the current map.
I would suggest:
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arkansas move to the 5th circuit court
Arizona, Idaho, Missouri and Nevada move to the 10th circuit court
Montana, Alaska move to the 8th circuit court
This would leave the 9th circuit court with California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Guan, the Northern Marianna's
Background:
1. The Supreme Court of the United States
The United States Supreme Court consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices. At its discretion, and within certain guidelines established by Congress, the Supreme Court each year hears a limited number of the cases it is asked to decide. Those cases may begin in the federal or state courts, and they usually involve important questions about the Constitution or federal law. For more information about the Supreme Court, visit the Supreme Court's official website.
2. U.S. Courts of Appeals
The 94 U.S. judicial districts are organized into 12 regional circuits, each of which has a United States court of appeals. A court of appeals hears appeals from the district courts located within its circuit, as well as appeals from decisions of federal administrative agencies. In addition, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has nationwide jurisdiction to hear appeals in specialized cases, such as those involving patent laws and cases decided by the Court of International Trade and the Court of Federal Claims.
3. U.S. District Courts
The United States district courts are the trial courts of the federal court system. Within limits set by Congress and the Constitution, the district courts have jurisdiction to hear nearly all categories of federal cases, including both civil and criminal matters. Every day hundreds of people across the nation are selected for jury duty and help decide some of these cases. There are 94 federal judicial districts, including at least one district in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Three territories of the United States--the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands--have district courts that hear federal cases, including bankruptcy cases. See the map above or view a Printable Circuit/District map at the U.S. Courts website.
4. U.S. Bankruptcy Courts
Each of the 94 federal judicial districts handles bankruptcy matters, and in almost all districts, bankruptcy cases are filed in the bankruptcy court. Bankruptcy cases cannot be filed in state court. Bankruptcy laws help people who can no longer pay their creditors get a fresh start by liquidating their assets to pay their debts, or by creating a repayment plan. Bankruptcy laws also protect troubled businesses and provide for orderly distributions to business creditors through reorganization or liquidation. These procedures are covered under Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code). The vast majority of cases are filed under the three main chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, which are Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13.
5. U.S. Courts of Special Jurisdiction
These include the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the U.S. Court of International Trade, the U.S. Tax Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. For more information on these courts, visit the U.S. Courts website.

LTC Stephen F. Reorganize sounds like an Interesting Proposition. I'll Have to Mull that over in My Head. Abolish? No Way I commend the 9th Court for doing as it Should, Functioning as a Check and Balance.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I believe the current apportionment is based on populations with regional alignment being an priority. Since populations have shifted each Census it is probably time to realign the circuit courts IMHO.

Other than the SCOTUS, no lifetime appointments. Elected or treated like any other appointees. And even the SCOTUS should be forced to retire at 80-85.

Not far behind you, CSM. Our era carried an organic computer with us 100% of the time.

LTC Ivan Raiklin, Esq., Federal judges take two oaths. The first is as follows: "I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as (office) under the Constitution and laws of the United States. [So help me God.]
The second oath is the same as taken by the Vice President, members of the Cabinet and Congress, and all other civil and military officers and federal employees other than the President, which is as follows: "I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
