2. That's the thing, right?

But they also want to fix it so that we never win.

You see this playing out with the SCOTUS hearing about to go on today - i.e., whether a lower court can implement a "nationwide injunction" rather than have it just apply to the jurisdiction where the offense occurred and the case was filed.

The loon GOP judges gamed that loophole by imposing their draconian rulings "nationwide" and GOPers even created a "judge-shopping" scheme to funnel their stuff through the districts in the 5th circuit (that is packed with loon appellate judges).

But now they are whining when the OTHER, more balanced or "liberal" districts in other Circuits, start doing the same thing.

Knowing this, they suddenly started trying to force people (right now it has been immigrants) out of other jurisdictions where they were arrested, and into the 5th circuit jurisdiction, so they can continue the judge shopping and imposition of their RW lunacy.

But when arguments come up about their disregarding "habeas corpus" by going that route, they NOW want to get rid of "habeas corpus" altogether so they can literally just use the 5th circuit loons to impose "law" nationally.
