WaPo Calls Out Judge Shopping In Trump’s CBS Suit

November 1, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

The Washington Post reports:

The long-shot claim was filed in the Northern District of Texas courthouse where Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, a Trump nominee, is the sole judge. Thursday’s lawsuit appears to be another example of what critics call “judge shopping.”

Kacsmaryk, known for his long-held antiabortion beliefs, has heard multiple suits involving federal government decisions that appear to have no clear reason to be filed in his courthouse.

In ruling on those cases, he has suspended the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone, a critical abortion medication; blocked the Biden administration from ending the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” program; and struck down two Biden administration protections for transgender people.

I pointed out this court shopping in yesterday’s post about the CBS lawsuit. Kacsmaryk, a former lawyer for an anti-LGBTQ hate group, was exposed in April 2023 for failing to disclose millions in stock holdings. Kacsmaryk was previously exposed for failing to disclose viciously anti-LGBTQ interviews and acting to hide his authorship of an anti-abortion article ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing. He last appeared here when he upheld a ban on drag shows at a Texas university.
