Raskin: We Have 13 Federal Circuits and We Only Have Nine Supreme Court Justices

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: "Well, traditionally, we’ve had one justice for each federal circuit. So, we have 13 federal circuits in America. And we only have nine justices, which means in the best of times, four circuits are completely left out. In fact, today, we’ve got five justices from the New York City Metropolitan area, one for each borough. I would think that all of those members of Congress from the West didn’t even realize that they were arguing against getting more justices on the court for their people. But that proposal’s not on the table right now. But we can certainly discuss it."
