Supreme Court asked to punish Texas over use of ‘Trump judges’
Washington Times ^ | 7/18/22 | Stephen Dinan

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. famously declared that there were no Trump judges or Obama judges. He is about to get a real test on that matter.

A law professor has filed a brief with the Supreme Court urging the justices to rule against Texas in a lawsuit over the Biden administration’s handling of immigration enforcement. The lawsuit claims Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been unethically “judge shopping” by looking for Republican-appointed judges to handle his cases.

I would venture to guess that the Left directly COORDINATES with Lefty judges to get the proper slots in the rotations...

‘claims Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been unethically “judge shopping”’

Excuse me? Since when did Democrats start caring about ethics again?

If it’s not actually ILLEGAL, and if it helps us win, then do it, because if you don’t, the left will most definitely do it to you!

Stephen Vladeck is just pissed off that the dems tactics are being usurped and used against them.

If this turd actually wins, wouldn't that judgment also affect judge shopping by the dems as well?

The Dementia Joe DOJ does that all the time.
Time for Texas to sue the super corrupt DOJ over that.

They certainly arrange to have the appeals go through the 9th circus, the most overturned circuit court in the nation.

Biden administration’s handling of immigration enforcement.

So much for the oath of office Crime Inc. couldn’t do a better job of avoiding it.

This is such an important constitutional issue. I’m sure the Supremes will get right on it. /s

When they're losing. It's a good sign.
