There's just no way to spin this as the proper workings of an elegant system of checks and balances when time and time again these decisions about federal regulatory issues or other matters of national importance are nakedly forum (sometimes judge) shopped into Texas district courts. The debacle with Kacsmaryck and the Fifth Circuit's dismissal of the randomization guidance from the judicial conference is an absolute disgrace.
Until these kinds of cases are assigned to a random district court, nobody's fooled by this.
