Schumer Pushes Texas Court to Adopt New Rules to Limit Judge-Shopping
-
Schumer urged a federal judge in Texas to adopt new rules limiting judge-shopping, where plaintiffs choose a favorable judge.
-
The rules aim to curb conservatives sending cases to judges known to be activists, like one in Amarillo issuing nationwide injunctions.
-
The new rules have judges randomly selected for cases seeking statewide or federal injunctions.
-
Schumer wants the court to adopt these rules, unlike McConnell who urged ignoring them.
-
Schumer sought clarity on if and when the court will adopt the rules by April 4.
