The author came to the wrong conclusion. Yes the Supreme Court making themselves the authority on all federal policy will increase their case load. No, it does not mean they will actually need to do any more work. Cases will be backlogged for as long as they want.
Businesses can now dump toxic waste onto public lands knowing that they are safe from judgement for decades.
It also means that lower courts in practically any state can issue injunctions on federal policy as well, which is going to open the floodgates for crazy. They’ve pretty much just begged everyone to vote Democrat, and get the seating of SC Justices rewritten. That, or pack the court.
The court was already packed with activist judges appointed under suspicious or hypocritical circumstances who then lied to Congress during their confirmations about their deference to precedent on a host of issues only to the engage in a massive power grab from Congress. Subsequent action to rebalance the court is not court packing.
As expected, the purpose of state is to facilitate relatively safe theft from classes not in control of it, and blocking justice is the primary method.

The term “court packing” has a very specific meaning. It refers to adding seats to the supreme court to shift the balance.
Yeah, Democrats are too married to do-nothing incrementalism to ever seriously consider doing that.
It’d help if we had more than the very slimmest of majorities.
It would help if Democrats would wield the power we give them.

You get the state you vote for, including the people in unelected positions which are chosen by elected officials.
Most of these Justices were chosen by Presidents that lost the popular vote lol
This is true to some degree, but ignores several important factors, such as
I wonder who made it such… Oh right, people who were elected.
No, the electoral system was set up by slave owning terrorists that wanted to make sure they and their children would rule forever.
Yeah I was confused by the article when they said they would regret it. Yeah if they cared, but they don’t.
What price should cable be? Who gives a shit, 100 dollars. There I did, supreme Court’s justices can do it too.
I’d hate to be a truck driver taking waste out to the river and running into a 100 wildly angry locals.
