Break up the Ninth Circuit?

Jeffrey Fieger debated John Eastman on Fox News this evening on that question. Fieger sounds angry and full of contempt. He says it's court-packing and animated only by politics.

Eastman points out that this has been proposed for the past 30 years and that the Fifth Circuit was divided and it doesn't make sense to have more judges than any other circuit.

From what I could find on it, the main reason it is wanted and the main reason it is opposed are the same: politics. The numbers seem to break in favor of the bill to create a new circuit and appoint new appeals court justices around the country. The growth in court cases makes it inevitable. If Hillary! gets elected, she'll be all for it because it would allow her to appoint the new judges, but if the Democrats don't control Congress as well, I imagine it will go nowhere.
