Why are you suggesting that they found a judge who would do what they wanted? Are you saying the federal court system is corrupt? Wouldn't the bigger news story be the changing of judges to get the ruling they wanted? Or was it all done under a legal procedure?
What is the name of the case itself? You should at least know that, since it has undone the foundations of our government. I can find it if I know that and the district or circuit courts involved to be named would be a good idea. That would show you made some effort to find the facts rather than rely on the opinions of others. IMO most news reports end up being about the reporter's opinion, since they don't have patience to read the decision itself.
