I'm personally a fan of packing the court, but I have no idea how to stop the Republicans from doing the same once the country suffers another concussion and votes them into power again.
I'm only really sympathetic to "Congress can/should fix this" when the Court makes their Decision in such a way to expand protections rather than vacate protections and go LOL, not my problem. Shelby County could have expanded prophylactic voting protections to all States while Congress makes a new rule. Instead they just fucked over everybody and told Congress to fix this new mess.

I know Mitch McConnell doesn't hold to norms, but I am curious as to why he hasn't floated the idea of court packing while Trump remains in office.
Something will need to be done about the court, barring some really fortunately timed deaths. A scenario in which progressives win super majorities and then have all their work undone by 5 lifer hacks is real.
If Congress was actually Congress they could pass laws etc but hey
The argument that 'The Democrats could pass laws to resolve this' is a lie told by the conservative wing of the court to placate the liberal wing (and a section of the voters). Note how the court is never unwilling to act in defence of Republican priorities even if former congresses under Democratic control passed clear laws describing exactly what was to be done.
If the Democrats were swept into power in 2020, with 61 votes in the Senate, the Presidency, and the House then without question this court would just start saying that Democratic priorities were unconstitutional. They just don't want to do so now so that they can retain the fig leaf of legitimacy that saying "We need the Congress to resolve this" whenever a potential Democratic win comes in front of them gives them.
Nah. I think there are definitely places Congress could act to fix laws or pass new ones that would solve the problems SCOTUS has identified with the law.
I can think of one big law, to start with....
But the big counter example is the VRA, which was re-upped by Congress only a few years before John Roberts deemed it no longer necessary.
Or anti-corruption laws before the majority of the SCOTUS decided bribery was pretty much legal.

I do not believe that the court is arguing in good faith when they describe 'problems' with the wording of the law in regards to democratic priorities. I believe they are presenting the argument which is most palpable to their chums on the liberal wing. If the Democrats changed the law to get around their rulings, or began to undermine Republican priorities, then their laws would be found unconstitutional regardless of the wording, and power would be sent to wherever Republican control remained.
If the Supreme Court is just going to be a partisan mouthpiece for the party in power, we might as well make it so that it can swing back and forth based on elections and not on a mixture of luck and the medium lifespan. The great principle behind lifetime appointments was that it turned ideologues into thoughtful philosophers based on their removal from the need to bend to partisan pressures.
Now that we have several decades showing this is ridiculous bullshit, might as well turn the top court into a flunky of the executive and legislative branches. It would at least be more democratic and stop the decades-long hangover of bad ideas that has marked the Supreme Court for most of its existence.

The mark of a dedicated textualist. Who needs to ever look outside of the document? You say this document only affects Muslims? Well, that doesn't matter when this law doesn't have any instance of the word "Muslims" or even "Muslim" in it.

That was never the intended use for SCOTUS for obvious reasons. Nor do the elements in control wish to make such a naked power grab, as superficial as they are right now. This type of thing works as a first come, first serve scenario - what only matters is the first one to do it and that was the conservatives and since they have it they are not going to let their political opponents have an opportunity to have the same advantage in the future. They do not play fair, and are only interested in being the player with the winning hand.
So considering the scotus is just totally bullshitting at this point to justify their partisan rulings, Directly contradicting themselves and their former rulings of a week ago...that's like all 3 branches non functional at this point then...
"Congress should fix this" doesn't make sense when they just gave a win to gerrymandering that makes it harder for people to fix anything.
Oh I know. My statement assumes a properly elected Congress that actually represents the will of the electorate and does it's actual job checking and balancing the other branches.

The California regulation case is one of those cases where I would love to see California flip it's nose at SCOTUS.

Oh, it’s functioning perfectly for those that wanted it this way.
By Roberts’s logic, cornerstones of Jim Crow law, the grandfather clause, and the literacy test would be entirely constitutional. Grandfather clauses barred people from voting if they could not vote prior to emancipation, but there were free black Americans prior to the abolition of slavery, and there were blacks capable of passing literacy tests in states where those tests were not deliberately impossible to pass. These laws did not affect all black voters, and neither did they explicitly mention race—so, to apply the tests Roberts has proposed, these devices, meant to secure white supremacy in the South after Reconstruction, were not discriminatory.
This is the part of the opinion that really scares me for its future implication. The government can explicitly implement policy intended to discriminate, but as long as it launders its intent through tissue thin “facially neutral” aims and doesn’t get *all* of its targets in its sights, their bigoted intent is not relevant
No word from Roberts on the aggregate effect of multiple policies that do, in summary, target majorities of the intended groups by their combined effort, and whether that exceeds any facially neutral assumption. I have faith that should the issue ever come before his bench, he will rise to the occasion of setting a legacy as despicable as Plessy v Ferguson

The entire travel ban kerfuffle was a giant waste of time, given that the ability to unilaterally restrict immigration is well within the Executive's Constitutional authority, no matter what some doofus federal judge in Hawaii felt about it. If you want to view it in political horse race terms, all that the Ninth Circuit Court did was que up an inevitable win for President Trump and Republicans just four months before mid-term elections.
Nice to see the Supreme Court overturn Korematsu, too, one of the Supreme Court's all-time worst decisions.

I guess we know why Masterpiece was supposedly "narrow." Because they would contradict it what, two weeks later?
Has to be. There is no way they can square “we have to use the arbiters statements of bias to dismiss” and “we cannot use the executives statement of intent to dismiss”
But then again. We knew they were partisan hypocrites when we started this game
I also like the “this is totally different because there are no concentration camps” coming out like, literally a week after we find out there are concentration camps
So the only way this case remotely squares with Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye (and the baker case) is that's okay for the executive to spout racist dipshittery as long as the resulting policy is neutral on its face, but not for anyone else to have any opinion whatsoever on any issue because that will poison any neutral policy.
Wonderful distinction. Just wonderful.
No. Since there are easy examples of bias in non-executive positions.
The thing you should take away from it is “Republicans can do whatever they want; because we say so”.

I still don't get this reasoning. Things that are normally completely within some official's powers can be unconstitutional when done for unconstitutional reasons.
Congress can pass laws regulating interstate commerce. That does not mean they can pass interstate commerce laws with racially discriminatory intent that would be constitutional.
And calling a judge a doofus when it was only iverruled in a 5-4 decision is absurd. It aas literally only one vote from coming out differently!

Well a nakedly partisan Court is better than one that pretends otherwise I guess. Silver linings wooo
The problem is almost everyone will still keep trying to act like everything is fine and the SCOTUS isn't just a hackish partisan secondary legislature with lifetime appointments and permanent Republican control.

The Supreme Court overturned Korematsu in the event the very specific circumstances that being in a declared war with a foreign nation justifies the capricious internment of former nationals or ethnic descendants of that foreign nation on American soil, while writing an opinion justifying the capricious banning of both immigration and visitation of nationals of foreign nations in circumstances of no war or basically demonstrated national security need

To me one of the biggest jaw-droppers of the cases released today was Alito's assertion that we have to assume that the legislation/state always acts in good faith when making laws/voting districts, seemingly regardless of the circumstances. In an age of lobbyists, a weakened Voting Rights Act, and Citizens United, this seems at best helplessly naive, and at worst literally enshrining conservatism and discrimination into law. This is Alito, so I'm not terribly surprised, but I honestly can't imagine a better recent instance to show how unfit he is to be on the Supreme Court.
