> According to The Washington Post, conservative groups have employed "forum shopping" in filing lawsuits within Kacsmaryk's federal district against many Biden administration's policies; since Kacsmaryk is the only federal judge in his district, any lawsuit filed there is guaranteed to be presided over by him
Doesn't the link seem to suggest this is a radical extremist form of judicial overreach? The history of this one court, with a single judge, causing endless shit & havoc for the federal government seems about as overreachy as it can get.
He has: denied asylum seekers entry until their claims are accepted. Messed with protections of the Affordable Care Act. Unwound protections for transgender people. And now deamdned denying access to a >20 year old drug.
One of these cases has made it to the Supreme Court so far. But that hardly makes me feel like there isn't a severe issue of activist judges embodied by this Trump appointee. Who is now causing havoc & bedlam within the nation, at their own whim. And that there is seemingly no real way to stop this absurd overreach, that he'll be able to keep doing it, that radical elements will keep forum-shopping for him, and nothing can stop this antagonist anti-rights crusader.
