Dear #Congress,

Please enact the Judiciary Act of 2021 which breaks up the Ninth Circuit and reduces #SCOTUS to three Justices, Justice Kagan, Justice Gorsuch and then draw from a hat Eugene Volokh or one of the Ilya's...throw Tyler Cowen as a non-attorney moderator for fun.

"I am not of that class of politicians who believe that every question is a proper question for the [SCOTUS]. There are questions too large for any tribunal of that kind to decide, great political, national, and territorial questions, which transcend their limits." Henry Clay

"...newspapers care about both fairness and truth." When in history has this statement ever been fact, @AbcarianLAT To ask the question in an apolitical manner, when have newspapers not been interpretive?
