Judge Richard Leon, a senior U.S. District Judge who sits on the District Court for the District of Columbia, is the judge you want when what you want is to own the libs. Yet, in an order handed down Wednesday, Leon suggested that even he has limited patience for that merry band of misfits and cranks that orbit Donald Trump.

For those of you who may not be familiar with this jurist, Leon handed down what may the the most aggressive anti-birth control decision of the Obama years, holding that even secular employers may ignore federal rules protecting workers’ access to birth control. He also struck down a rule extending the minimum wage and overtime protections to home care workers — a decision that was unanimously reversed on appeal.

Judge Leon gutted the federal ban on housing discrimination, defying the unanimous view of 11 different federal appeals courts in the process. Then, after the Supreme Court rejected his position, Leon practically begged the Trump administration to launch a new attack on the federal Fair Housing Act.

Nevertheless, on Wednesday, Leon indicated that there are some things even he isn’t willing to do in order to protect Donald Trump.

Judge-shopping
So the bad news for Corsi is that one of the most partisan judges in the American legal system isn’t buying Corsi’s effort to hand-pick his own trial judge. Yet, while Corsi’s effort at judge-shopping is unusually ham-handed, there are plenty of other highly partisan judges who are happy to hand down aggressive legal orders benefiting plaintiffs who manipulated the court system to choose which judge would hear their case.
