I am not a lawyer but I am curious what affect this will have. Does this mean that the FBI can cherry pick to it's favorite judges to get any wiretap subpoena they need?

Is there a source of public information to monitor judges actions in giving out these subpoenas?

If it worked for Patent Trolls and Texas, why wouldn't it work for the FBI?

Doesn't law enforcement already cherry pick judges for the different warrants that they want?

No, they've got to deal with the jurisdiction that is able to issue a warrant; until December 1st, 2016.

I was meaning in a general sense of the jurisdiction they are in; this new thing only adds to that ability.
