Schumer's demand followed a case related to FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, which was filed in a court with a single Trump-appointed judge.
"Unsurprisingly, litigants have taken advantage of these orders to hand-pick individual district judges seen as particularly sympathetic to their claims," Schumer wrote.
Congress may "consider more prescriptive requirements" if Godbey does not enact reforms, Schumer wrote. Critics say the strategy of targeting single-judge divisions harms the integrity of the court, as it effectively bypasses the usual process of having cases assigned randomly. The random-assignment process is intended to "avoid judge shopping," federal courts"In the past few years, the country has seen the downside of allowing plaintiffs to hand-pick their desired judges," Schumer said in a press release Thursday.
In his letter to Godbey, Schumer noted, "Nothing requires the Northern District to let plaintiffs hand-pick their judges like this."
