President Donald Trump has faced various legal setbacks early in his second term which have been exacerbated through court shopping by his opponents, but a recent Supreme Court decision could help offer some relief.
Court shopping, also known as forum shopping or judge shopping, has been a frequently used tactic by opponents of the Trump administration seeking favorable rulings and quick blocks of key parts of Trump’s agenda.
The tactic involves parties suing the administration to file their lawsuits in a federal judicial district with a heavily liberal bench of judges. Because the federal government has jurisdiction over the entire country, groups can file lawsuits against the government in a wider array of districts than in typical cases.
