When it comes to proposed new rules for disciplining wayward federal judges, circuit chiefs from around the country haven't exactly been falling over themselves to publicly air their thoughts.

The 9th Circuit is the only federal appeals court to use limited en bancs to resolve intracircuit conflicts.Rare Judicial Impeachment Hearing Ends With Little Action Taken
