"Battle Over 'Judge-Shopping' Sparks Controversy Among Republican Justices"

A policy aimed at preventing "judge-shopping" in federal courts has sparked a political firestorm, with Republicans and Democrats clashing over its implications. The policy, initially thought to be a done deal, is now facing resistance, with conservative politicians urging judges to reject it and Democrats pushing for its mandatory implementation. The controversy stems from concerns that the policy could impact access to justice in venues favored by conservatives, particularly in cases related to abortion rights and Biden administration policies.
