                        THE CALIFORNIA JUDICIARY

  (Mr. ISSA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, it is no surprise that yesterday the Ninth 
Circuit ruled in complete and total disregard for the wishes of the 
people of California. I heard earlier speakers address the House and 
talk of the vacancies, and there are five on the Ninth Circuit, 
specifically because of the inaction of the Senate; and I would like to 
associate myself with those who have called for the Senate to take 
appropriate action.
  But more importantly here today as a Californian, I want to make it 
very clear that when we are called the ``left coast,'' they are only 
speaking about our courts; they are only speaking about the insane 
actions that often come from our judiciary. They are not speaking about 
the people of California up and down the State who embrace America's 
core values, including one Nation under God, indivisible.
