Democrats Using ‘Forum Shopping’ To Stop Trump Agenda In The Courts

As the Trump administration continues to fight a flurry of legal attacks, a familiar tactic is emerging: The left is gaming the court system to block his policies by forum shopping, the practice of filing lawsuits in specific courts where the odds favor a liberal ruling.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. RealClearInvestigations analyzed 350 lawsuits targeting the Trump administration and found that 80% were filed in just 11 out of the 91 federal district courts in the country. Those 11 courts? They all have one thing in common: Democrat-appointed judges dominate the bench, RealClearPolitics reported.

In fact, while Democratic presidents appointed about 60% of active federal judges overall, every one of those 11 courts leaned even harder to the left. Some of them are practically guaranteed to hand cases to judges picked by Obama, Clinton, or Biden.

Critics of the administration call this just the natural consequence of Trump’s “overreach,” and yes, some Republican-appointed judges have ruled against Trump. But the numbers tell the real story. When it comes to the harshest legal weapon, nationwide injunctions, Democrat-appointed judges are overwhelmingly the ones issuing them.

These are rulings that don’t just affect the plaintiff; they freeze Trump’s policies across the entire country.
