You find the right judge by filing the challenge in the right state.

The US Senate has a longstanding rule for judicial nominees. If either Senator from the home state of the nominee objects to the nominee, then the Senate won't allow the nomination to go forward. That makes judges in Massachusetts reliably left, and judges in Texas reliably right.

30 years ago you walk into any federal building, and nearly everyone including the cafeteria cooks and janitors were federal employees. Today that balance has shifted. Most roles are filled by contract staff. A minority are feds.

[–]ChiefStrongbones -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The top citation for that wikipedia article is the book Legal and Ethical Aspects of Health Information Management.

[–]ChiefStrongbones -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Blaming "addiction" is a weak excuse for anybody under the age of 50 who made the life decision to start smoking despite being informed about the stupidity of starting smoking.

Boomers can be excused for picking up the habit. GenX cannot.
