"Republicans Criticize Federal Judiciary's Rule to Limit 'Judge Shopping'"

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized the federal judiciary's move to restrict "judge-shopping," a tactic used by conservative lawyers, arguing that it favors Democrats and limits access to justice for conservatives. The new policy aims to assign cases randomly from larger pools of judges, addressing concerns about judge selection bias. McConnell contends that the policy will disproportionately benefit Democrats and hinder access to justice for conservatives, while some conservative judges have also criticized the move.
