Not as written... demonstrate that the split is evenly dividing the territory by population. Sen. Jeff Flake is quoted saying “A fair and functioning judiciary is one of the pillars of our democracy, but the oversized and overburdened 9th Circuit has Arizonans waiting too long for justice. Establishing a new circuit with stronger local, regional, and cultural ties will ease the burden across the West and ensure that the people of Arizona finally get the swift access to the courts they deserve.” If he stated something to the effect of "... and ensure that all people currently covered by the 9th will finally get the swift access..." then I would vote 'yea'... As is, all he is doing is looking out for his own state...
