Strongest argument for Democrats packing the Supreme Court is that we have never, in the whole history of the republic, had a Court that votes on almost all major decisions on a straight party line the way the Roberts Court does now. /1

A real comment from a bike lane meeting I attended
Happy to be corrected by others who know more about this hypertechnical legal doctrine, but my take is the dissenters are right about Rooker-Feldman being a questionable-to-bad rule, but the issue presented in this case (about trial court vs. high court judgments) is a weird place to draw the line.
I voted for @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social for New York state assembly. If you live in assembly district 52, you can too!
4 judges of the PA Supreme Court don't like how reformist Philadelphia DA @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social has conceded that some past convictions were flawed, so they've decided to run against him for DA. No, just kidding, they've instead empowered the state's Republican AG overrule him, and only him.
Immediate contender for the political hall of fame.
Theme of today’s SCOTUS opinions:
Right-wingers infighting over their individual idiosyncrasies while Kagan tests whether she still has the dealmaking juice to harm-mitigate with the majority
Major Supreme Court decisions of the past were built by justices appointed across party lines- but if the Court is now just a partisan engine, a partisan packing of the Court is appropriate.
