What an idiotic characterization by Jim Hoft. Taking an appeal of a denial is not "judge shopping." Judge shopping would be going from one trial court to another until you get a trial court / magistrate to sign the warrant.

Not defending Lamberth's decision, but his role is to review decisions by lower courts.

Moreover, the original magistrate judge had issued the warrant. The dispute here involved the question of disclosure: i.e., whether DOJ was going to have to notify Rosen (at some future time, at a minimum) that his electronic files were being searched, or whether DOJ could keep that information secret for as long as DOJ liked (including, forever).
