The best thing would have been for Biden and senate democrats to care more about judicial appointments. The fact that there is a lone trump appointee as the only judge in Amarillo Texas makes judge shopping a joke. If Kacsmaryk had to share the court house with a Biden appointee or two, none of the federal lawsuits would go anywhere |
“"Since vacancies have been much lower under Biden than under Trump, the fact that Biden's appointment pace is faster means that his nominations team, and Senate Democrats on and off the Judiciary Committee, have been prioritizing judicial appointments," Jipping told ABC News. […] Because Democrats expanded their Senate majority to 51 seats in the 2022 midterms, they also now hold an outright majority on the Judiciary Committee rather than an even split with Republicans, which will make it easier for them to vote on and approve nominees.” https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-appointed-105-federal-judges-outpacing-trump-obama/story?id=97200133 Plus, IIRC, the GOP did their usual terroristic “we don’t care what the voters said, we’re blocking everything we can” crap. |
OK. The fact remains that there is a lone federal judge in a court house and anyone who wants to ensure that they get the most conservative ruling imaginable just has to file in Amarillo |
Wtf Texas? Take back your state and have some repost for the women of Texas and everywhere else. |

I don't think you understand how the federal courts work. |
Medication abortion is now banned by law in Wyoming, and punishable by prison terms and fines.

There’s going to be so much FAAFO for some conservative women in forced birther states, but I guess they’ll enjoy it so long as the law is applied to non-White women. |
Chief Justice Roberts appears to be trying to put a stop to this. “It’s always hard for me to think that anything the Judicial Conference does is a big piece of news, but they did announce a new policy that sets out to curb judge-shopping. It’s the Conference trying to say: “Hey, you can’t just go to the casino that is Amarillo, Texas, and get Matthew Kacsmaryk every time you file a case.” https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/03/john-roberts-matthew-kacsmaryk-nationwide-injunctions-judge-shopping.html https://www.uscourts.gov/news/2024/03/12/conference-acts-promote-random-case-assignment?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=usc-news https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24483622/judicial-conference-policy.pdf |
OMG this appears to be working. Trump-appointed Judge Mark Pittman in Texas has sent the Chamber of Commerce's challenge to the CFPB's credit card fee rule to D.C. "Venue is not a continental breakfast; you cannot pick and choose on a plaintiffs' whim where and how a lawsuit is filed." https://www.reuters.com/legal/texas-judge-transfers-lawsuit-over-card-fees-washington-dc-2024-03-28/ |
Does this mean any time a woman has a miscarriage she is looking at prison time for manslaughter? She is pregnant and slips on ice and loses the baby, prison time! She should have been more careful and lived at home in a bubble. |
Trump said it..."there has to be punishment". Women that miscarry and lose a pregnancy are as good as murderers. Punish them. |
There is already precedent for this (forced birthers have been trying to get fetal personhood established for years). It’s just that it’s been applied mostly to poor and/or minority women and only been picked up by feminist media so it hasn’t gotten wider traction. But yes forced birther politicians and the forced birther crazies who spur them ever crazier have indicated that they would be fine with this. |
It goes way beyond abortion. But you know that and are playing dumb. |
It does indeed go beyond abortion. Don’t forget the recent attempts to eradicate title IV protections for women and the subsequent silencing of women who speak out against it. |
