Crystal and Scott tackle the issue of district judges currently dominating national headlines. Topics for discussion include the 775's Thacker Pass Lithium Mine case, the Alien Enemies Act, Birthright Citizenship, and the ability of district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions through the process of jurisdiction shopping. We also highlight the theory recently put forward by Fifth Circuit Court Judge James Ho that district court judges are unique in the American system of government by being able to unilaterally make decisions without consulting or compromising with other parties.
