#judgeshopping in the USA & how it undermines the “intuition that we all share, that whether you win or lose your case shouldn't depend on the judge that you happen to draw“ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65246823
Since #Kacsmaryk joined the federal bench in 2019, many of his decisions have been wins for the right. In a practice known as #JudgeShopping conservative grps have zeroed in on the Amarillo div of the Northern Dist of TX as a go-to place….Bc Amarillo is a federal district w/A SINGLE JUDGE, plaintiffs know their arguments will be heard by Kacsmaryk — who was nom’d by…Trump &…is positioned to issue rulings w/#nationwide implications.

The worst federal #judge in #America now has a name
Not simply for the poor quality of his #judicial reasoning…. What really distinguishes #Kacsmaryk is the loaded content of his rhetoric — not the language of a sober-minded, impartial jurist but of a #zealot, committed more to promoting a cause than applying the #law.

US Dist #JudgeKacsmaryk, a nom of…#Trump w/long-held #antiabortion views, agreed w/the #conservative grps seeking to reverse the #FDA’s approval of #mifepristone as safe & effective, incl’g in states where #AbortionRights are protected.
The Biden admin will probably #appeal to the #USCourtOfAppeals for the #5thCircuit, & the case could make its way to the #SupremeCourt.

A fed judge in #TX blocked US gov approval of a key #AbortionMedication Fri, siding w/#abortion foes in an unprecedented lawsuit …upending #nationwide access….
The highly anticipated ruling puts on hold the #FDA’s approval of #mifepristone, …first cleared for use in the US in 2000. The ruling will not go into effect for 7 days to give the gov time to #appeal.
