Here we have an Idea that is long overdue for the citizens of the western states.
"For too long, Arizonans have been held hostage by activist judges out of San Francisco, who have consistently ruled against ranchers, farmers, miners and our timber industry," Renzi explained in a speech introducing the legislation. "The Ninth Circuit Court is out of touch with the traditional western values that still hold true in our communities, and the scales of justice must be balanced."
This is true of most situations where we of the "Flyover States" are subject to the whim of the interests of the Coastal Courts and Urban Interests that surround us. In Indiana, court decisions drop from Chicago like unwanted relatives.
Let's hope, as Sir George says, that "this dog will hunt."
Thanks to Jack for the tip!
