Q&A

The discussion emphasizes the need for reforms to prevent abusive legal practices that lead to costly injunctions, which ultimately affect public finances and the efficacy of legal proceedings.

• What concerns arise from venue shopping in lawsuits? 📊

  Venue shopping refers to the strategic choice of filing lawsuits in liberal jurisdictions to secure favorable rulings. This practice raises concerns about the fairness of judicial processes and has led to proposed reforms, such as requiring executive order lawsuits to be assigned to a three-judge panel to mitigate potential biases.

• What trend is highlighted regarding the Supreme Court's approach to lower court rulings? 🏛️

Board of Education, and today's resistance against federal immigration enforcement in California.
