    AZ Supreme Court is a totally different animal. Age limits for Justices, limits on the governor's appointment power, subordinate to SCOTUS. Most state supreme courts are more political than SCOTUS.https://twitter.com/Taniel/status/1382857690792275977 …

    Harsh critique by Cotton of the legitimacy of the Arizona Supreme Court, which the GOP expanded and packed a few years ago. Esp. awkward as GOP Gov. Ducey, who got to appoint a bunch of new justices, may still run for Senate & become Cotton’s Senate colleague. https://twitter.com/TomCottonAR/status/1382491373753008130 …

        The states are laboratories of democracy. They provide the grounds for experimenting with reforms that can be used at the federal level.

        Yeah, it’s different, because you’re in favor of one but not the other since jt aligns with your ideological priors. We already get this.

        Maybe most states were more political than SCOTUS but Republicans fucked that up forever. Sorry, you guys broke it. It’s political and illegitimate until fixed.

        You guys always have an excuse for why it’s different when you do it. Mitch McConnell established this principle, which is do what you can when you have the votes and the power.

        Quite true. In WI they are elected to 10 year terms. A former chief, Shirley Abrahamson, actually said in a tv spot that her job was to rule for the powerless over the powerful. Seems to me that a statement like that is disqualifying, but not what most seem to think.

        So what? Most state supreme courts being more political than SCOTUS doesn't mean it can't also be extremely political. And Republicans already packed the SCOTUS, so it should be a no-brainer for Democrats to do the same.

        This isn’t an argument that anyone with a principled objection to Court-packing would make, you’re just gerrymandering your argument so that it was okay when Republicans seized power but it won’t be if Democrats do it
