The US has been a dual state ever since its founding to various degrees. It is now back in a dual state almost as bad as when slaves in the South were the norm and the years of segregation.
Due process means little when ICE can go judge shopping in Texas.

New court filing: #PerkinsCoie v. #DOJ re #Trump #ExecutiveOrder punishing the #law firm
The Trump had filed to disqualify Judge Beryl Howell, basic #JudgeShopping.
Denied.
“Though this adage is commonplace, and the tactic overused, it is called to mind by defendants' pending motion to disqualify this Court: ‘When you can't attack the message, attack the messenger.’“

The case is going to be heard by a panel of judges in the #FifthCircuit Court of Appeals. Of the Circuit Court judges, only 5 out of 26 were appointed by a Democratic president.

The case has been assigned to US Dist Judge James Wesley Hendrix, an appointee of… #Trump who has often ruled against #Biden policies. The admin has in the past accused #Texas of "#JudgeShopping" by bringing cases in small cities like Lubbock,where local rules assign most cases to Trump appointees.
#Texas is one of >20 #Republican-led states that have banned or restricted abortion since #SCOTUS’ 2022 decision eliminating the nationwide right to #abortion.

“Something else that makes the cases in Texas unique is that laws that protect people and groups from meritless lawsuits do not apply in Texas’ federal courts, under a 2019 appeals court decision. That effectively means that if Musk loses the cases, he will not have to pay the defendants’ legal fees, as he would in many states.”

Do you remember the days when US conservatives used to lament in high flown language the threat to popular sovereignty posed by an "activist judiciary legislating from the bench"?
Now they seem happy that important decisions for people all over the USA are handed down by a lone bigot in Amarillo, TX.

#Texas sues Biden admin over new federal protections for #LGBTQ+ students, arguing against the expansion of a landmark anti-sex discrimination law.
#gregAbbott and #kenPaxton filed at a courthouse in Amarillo, in a move that guaranteed its assignment to a conservative judge with a history of issuing nationwide injunctions against federal policies– his most notable ruling was last year in a major abortion case that is now before the #supremeCourt.

Apparently the far-right fringe is now furious that they can’t file all their cases in Amarillo and get guaranteed nationwide rulings. It won’t totally eliminate #judgeshopping but is a step in the right direction.

#Republicans are apoplectic over new #judiciary rules aimed at stopping the practice of "#judgeShopping." In response, they're instructing judges that don't really have to abide by the rule if they don't feel like it. Understand that these people are chipping away at the foundation of our country, and fully intend to put an end to the American republic. Unprecedented voting is our only hope.

An egregious case of #judgeshopping in a case that seeks to ban the #abortion drug #mifepristone nationwide. The case has no legal merit, but the far-right #SCOTUS has lately adopted the legal standard of "because we can" to reverse decades of civil rights. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/democrats-abortion-supreme-court-dobbs
The #RepublicanControlledLegislature suggested they would push for a #TotalBan on #abortion….
Jenny Black, of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, said the decision would force #women to carry pregnancies against their will, & “puts the “dangerous politicization of #SouthCarolina’s highest court on full display.”
“This #AbortionBan is nearly identical to the ban struck down by this court just months ago — the only thing that has changed is the makeup of the court”
“The #legislature has made a policy determination that, at a certain point in the pregnancy, a #woman’s interest in #autonomy & #privacy does not outweigh the interest of the unborn child to live.”
…The leaders of the #Republican majority in the Senate celebrated the decision, saying in a statement that #SouthCarolina was “no longer an #abortion destination but a refuge for the unborn.”
This really needs to be the narrative in history books in the next 25 years. I want my grandchildren (who don't exist yet) to know how this court was fully corrupted by money and power, and how that ultimately ended the empire.
But it is also VERY important to remember that we solve #CitizensUnited by eliminating the enormous wealth disparities in this country. It is the only way, as far as I see it.
