A federal judge in Texas has issued an order that sets back one of the most significant presidential actions in years aimed at easing the path to citizenship.
The fact that these cases always first get filed and heard in these right wing circuits is a testament to right wing Republican AGs’ use of judge/circuit shopping.
I’d suggest that any future judicial reforms (SCOTUS, etc) also include the creation of a special national circuit focused solely on national legal issues involving the federal government - with built in safeguards against that circuit being packed by either party
