Senator Ron Wyden is introducing new legislation that would ban what he calls "judge shopping." The Fair Courts Act comes after last month's decision by a Texas federal judge to reverse approval of the popular abortion drug mifepristone. Wyden says no federal judge should have this much power.
"When you had these anti abortion activists allowed to judge shop and put forth an illegitimate case in front of one judge 17-hundred miles from here, access to a safe and effective medication would effect nation wide! Nation wide... The choices women have!" Said the Senator. "No single judge oughta have that kind of power!"

The result of this policy is only Washington DC judges and juries could make national decisions. A place that votes 80% Dem would control all of our lives.
Good: when it helps the revolution.
Bad: when it helps defend the nation and human life.

Now that our side is about to do it for President Trump..
Which means that the true result of the legislation will be more effective judge shopping will occur.
He must be up for reelection.
This won’t go anywhere.
It’s too useful for both sides................
Sounds like the whole Gay marriage might be back on the table then. A single Judge of an inferior court gave it to us.
Washington DC was never supposed to contain residents. Only administration and duly elected officials.
The horses that ran out before that barn door was closed have reproduced 10 generations in the 50 years since Roe v. Wade & Doe v. Bolton were judge shopped. Lawyers Sarah Weddington & Linda Coffee did the shopping at the behest of a Texas Millionairess who wanted to stop those N words & Tacos from having too many babies. Roe & Doe weren’t law, they were a litigation campaign. 10 years earlier, in 1963, Betty Freidan’s “Feminine Mystique” didn’t even contain the word “abortion”. Abortion was not on the radar in 1973, there was no demand by women, it was the Population Controllers of the Ford, Rockefeller & Population Foundations who wanted it. The Supreme Court decision is what created the market. But in 1987, when dumpster divers at San Antonio’s SW Texas Planned Parenthood found patient records, it was the White, Steel Magnolias who were having the abortions. That’s called “Blowback”, when a psy-ops against some poor, dark-skinned people, boomerangs, and it is the WASPs who dive off the lemming cliff.
It is actually 95%.
It is actually 92-95%.
Didn't we have one Democrat-appointed judge in Hawaii rule on President Trump's immigrant ban on immigration from mostly-Muslim countries that had lax COVID-19 protocols in early 2020?
Wasn't that a case of "one judge 1,700 miles from here" allowing potentially sick people to enter the mainland from known COVID-19 hot-spots?

The USSC needs to take up the whole national injunction crap by the circuit courts..
That’s why they shop, they know if they go to the right court they’ll get a national injunction which a regional court should not be allowed to do.
“The result of this policy is only Washington DC judges and juries could make national decisions. A place that votes 80% Dem would control all of our lives.”
Well then. I expect the 43 members of the senate RINO caucus to co-sponsor Senator Wyden’s bill.
Scum from the bottom of a cesspool, yeah, that describes wyden.
The progressives are also desperate to rein in St. Benitez.
I have no problem with an anti judge shopping bill because Democrats using Dem appointed district judges in Cal, NY and DC as their mini legislature do it substantially more than Republicans. I would go a step further and disallow injunctions against exec orders and Fed legislation to be issued by single Fed Court district judge, only by the appellate court bench with a minimum of 3 judges sitting on the case
Huh? What is your source?
When you think of Washington DC today before the Retrosession it was Federal City, Washington City, Georgetown, with settlements on the eastern shore of the Eastern branch which is now commonly referred to as Southeast DC. After the Retrosession Alexandria became part of Virginia once again along with Arlington. They didn’t even have canals built for drinking water until after 1835.
I was referring to Federal City, which basically was where a few Federal buildings were located, along with livery, and other services. There were undoubtedly workers who were housed there, without residences - only living quarters.
