Conventional wisdom is that these decisions are a way of telling the Democrats to fuck off on court packing. If you notice, all of the split decisions are on weird ideological lines. Sotomayor, who is the only truly awful justice on the court, is having a hard time playing along, and is writing a lot of her own concurring opinions.There have been several 9-0 votes of late. This could be setting the stage for a 9-0 vote invalidating the Election and voiding the Inaug of Biden. The only peaceful hope would be a unanimous decision.
