A federal court in Texas known for attracting conservative lawsuits against President Joe Biden's agenda has opted not to adhere to a new policy designed to limit the practice of 'judge shopping.'
Chief U.S. District Judge David Godbey of the Northern District of Texas communicated this decision in a letter to Democratic U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The policy, put forth by the U.S. Judicial Conference on March 12, sought to randomly assign judges to cases challenging federal or state laws to prevent them from being concentrated in specific divisions or courthouses.
