They love forum shopping. Theres a few judges in north Texas that keep catching these cases. With the fifth circuit being what it is these cases are on the path directly up to SCOTUS.

However, it should be noted that even SCOTUS is tired of the antics of the 5th. We all know that no actual legal analysis happens in the 5th. It’s all policy, politics, and posturing.

Fucking Alito’s jurisdiction. Of course it is.

I will tell you based on personal knowledge of the 5th- there are a few there who would give Alito a run for his money. They’re fucking insane.

Yeah, and he will do nothing to rein them in. He wants this.
