The judge…
The temporary nationwide injunction imposed by Judge Mark Pittman in the Northern District of Texas is a win for the big banks and major credit card companies, which collect billions in revenue each year in late fees and were looking to stop the proposal from going into effect.
Aaaaand yes, this judge was another Trump appointee.
Same judge also made a ruling blocking student loan debt relief 2 years ago.
The article says he did try to pass on the case, but it was sent back to him. Our legal system is isn a sad state, where even the judges can’t do anything about court shopping
