Jones v. Vladeck

Apparently things got a little heated at a panel on judicial independence at the Federalist Society national meeting last week.  Judge Edith Jones of the 5th Circuit took exception to Professor Steve Vladeck's criticisms of judge-shopping, especially vis-a-vis "the Supreme Court of Amarillo," as it's known on Twitter/X in lawprof circles.  Judge Jones did not cover herself in glory in my opinion.  Professor Vladeck comments here (which also includes a link to a video of the panel), although I disagree with the idea that non-conservatives should not participate in Federalist Society events.  This one was instructive, and not in the way Judge Jones intended it to be.
