Pelosi Statement on Republican Attempt to Split U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
Washington, D.C. – House
“Today’s action is the latest in a series of Republican attacks on an independent judiciary, and the latest in financial irresponsibility by the Republican majority. On the merits, there is no justification for the Republican court splitting proposal. It is simply a partisan exercise to appease the radical right.
“The Republican attempt to split the Ninth Circuit will come at tremendous cost to the American taxpayer. It does not have the support to pass both Houses of Congress, so House Republicans are seeking to stifle debate and the democratic process by inserting a controversial measure into the expedited budget process.
“This proposal is simply unacceptable, and I will continue to oppose it.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
