It's about how the judges are selected to hear the cases. It should be done randomly. Many federal courts assign pro se cases to senior judges. If a case is related to a previous case, the same judge may be assigned to the case because he/she is already familiar with the facts or the parties. It's a legitimate point of Congressional inquiry to ask how the cases are assigned and why was this judge assigned to this case. That process should be transparent. Otherwise, it leads to distrust of the judiciary.
