Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., urged a top U.S. judge in Texas to reform his district’s case-assignment rules that he says have allowed plaintiffs to effectively “hand-pick” their preferred judges.
Schumer’s demand to Chief Judge David Godbey of northern Texas federal court came after a heated legal battle over the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of an abortion pill sparked accusations of “judge shopping” by conservative litigants.
Multiple court divisions in Godbey’s district have just one or two district judges. The rules currently allow for plaintiffs to target those divisions for civil cases — letting them “effectively choose the judge who will hear their cases,” Schumer said Thursday in a letter to Godbey.
“Unsurprisingly, litigants have taken advantage of these orders to hand-pick individual district judges seen as particularly sympathetic to their claims,” Schumer wrote.
The Senate leader called Texas itself the “most egregious” offender, noting that in 29 lawsuits against the Biden administration, it has “always sued in divisions where case-assignment procedures ensure that a particular preferred judge or one of a handful of preferred judges will hear the case.”
Congress may “consider more prescriptive requirements” if Godbey does not enact reforms, Schumer wrote.

Suck this Chuck !
It’s done every day. Every attorney checks the calendar for who’s who..
Sheckie Chewsmore seems to think he’s running the third branch of the American government...
I dare you to take the J6 trials out of the purview of DC judges and juries, Cuck.
BlackElk (RIP) told me that in CT the lawyer waits near the counter and hears the judge assigned. They went in rotation, so the lawyer just waits for the right name to be due.
The entire birth control, abortion, population control agenda is built on lies.
The FDA approval of birth control chemicals has been a fraud from the start.
Abbott should tell Schumer to stay out of State’s Rights as is mandated in the Constitution
Is this the same democrap party that finds a judge in Hawaii to overturn rulings in other states??
Now that’s a laugh.
Schumer threatened SCOTUS Justices with ‘reaping the whirlwind’ if they invalidated the Roe v Wade ruling. Demonstrators at their homes weren’t arrested officers on the scene were ordered not to.
Schumer demanded that Tucker Carlson stop showing January 6 videos and the video releases stopped the next day. A month later Carlson was fired from Fox.
So I’d not be surprised if Judge Godbey accedes to Schumer’s demand.
““Unsurprisingly, litigants have taken advantage of these orders to hand-pick individual district judges seen as particularly sympathetic to their claims,” Schumer wrote.”
That’s only reserved for the left and deep state to be used to legislate from the bench and attack their enemies.
F*ck yourself, Chuckwad.
Signed, Texas
I wonder if Shumer has ever been to Hawaii.
Went out with an attorney for 10 years. He had someone watching the calendar for him. The guy was also his process server.
🤣
I demand you jump off the empire state building
Only Democrats are allowed to cherry pick judges.
Schmuckie is whining about cherry picking judges on the right. Something his side does all the time.
= = =
Yep.
Schumer does judge picking, nose picking, and butt picking.
You can pick your judges and you can pick your nose.
And if you are Schumer, you can pick every democrat nose (and other parts, not mentioned for ‘decorum’).
