A thing that kind of got memoryholed is that about a week before Politico published the draft Dobbs decision, a WSJ editorial seemed to rely on a leak of the eventual Dobbs result https://t.co/MTBg4X8aO0

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Opinion by Ruth Marcus: What Judge Reggie Walton had to say to the Supreme Court. If only the justices had been present to hear it. If only they were open-minded enough to take it in. https://t.co/0zJFTUZche

This is a bad look for the federal judiciary. Litigants shouldn’t be able to pick their judge.

[National Immigration Law Center @NILC]

Texas is handpicking judges to advance its political agenda on abortion access, the environment, and especially immigration.

📚Read this article by NILC attorney Max Wolson & @steve_vladeck to learn more about this underhanded practice.

Or, at the very least, for cases of national significance, assign the cases randomly among the judges of the district.

"There has got to be a change, and this is already being discussed, so that there are no more single judge divisions within judicial districts. This is not forum shopping, this is judge shopping." - Mary McCord w/ @NicolleDWallace

@daniel_b_rice Did you get a haircut?

We believe it's critical to lay down these markers to establish that unauthorized paramilitary activity is incompatible with the rule of law. ICAP will continue to use strategic legal advocacy to hold dangerous and unlawful paramilitary actors to account.

1/ You may have seen that Chief Justice John Roberts recently appointed Judge Robert M. Dow, Jr., as his new Counselor, effective December 5. https://t.co/1XvMMlfOoB Here is a brief thread on the history of the position of Counselor to the Chief Justice.

[Sheldon Snook @SheldonSnook]

A system that allows judge-shopping isn’t good for anyone—especially the judiciary. It’s within our means to reform, even in these partisan times. Make the effective date prospective, so neither side will know who in the future might or might not benefit from a more fair system.

[Rick Hasen @rickhasen]

This is so important. Given Justice Kagan's comments too on nationwide injunctions last week and where Gorsuch and Thomas are, there should be some bipartisan energy in Congress behind making system for seeking nationwide injunctions more rational and discourage forum shopping.

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

This is important to get out to as many people as possible.

Thinking about this today.
"Americans have reason to be hopeful..that we can avoid the failures of other countries & that [our] judges..will remain faithful to the rule of law. In a world teetering between democracy & authoritarianism, that is a remarkable & welcome achievement."

[Georgetown Law ICAP @GeorgetownICAP]

A bill introduced in Idaho would repeal the state's longstanding prohibition on unauthorized private militia activity. We wrote to explain why the repeal effort is misguided and unsupported by the text or history of the Constitution. Read our letter 👉
