A Senate Republican is planning to curb so-called "rogue" judges, and he is using one of President Donald Trump’s greatest foils in the judicial branch as the launching point.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is planning to introduce the Blocking Overt Attempts at Shopping By Enforcing Randomization Guidelines Act in an attempt to curb judge shopping in federal cases. The bill, shortened to the BOASBERG Act, is named after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, one of Trump’s main antagonists on the bench.

Schmitt’s legislation, first obtained by Fox News Digital, would broadly require that federal cases be randomly assigned in a bid to limit the ability of judges and litigants to influence who gets to hear and oversee a case.

Simple solution.

Get rid of DC federal courts (district and appellate court).

Make every state's federal court a proper venue for lawsuits against the US government and its agencies.

Prohibit forum non.

Easier solution: People who support Trump should sue in friendly circuits.

This would make things much much worse because you could sue the government for everything and everything in the most liberal district in the country.

There needs to be a verification method and a steep penalty for being found in violation. Without some accountability enforcement, there's no impetus for actual change.

There shouldn't be any court proceedings in DC outside of local cases involving residents of DC who are not working for the federal government or K Street.

Correct!

We have seen over the past 15-20 years the DC courts are extremely biased towards the preservation of the DC Uniparty, particularly when it comes to protecting Dims and Bureaucratic State criminals.
