General Rooker is Still Dead
June 18, 2026
A running gag on Saturday Night Live in the 1970s featured Chevy Chase, hosting the “Weekend Update,” proclaiming: “Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.“
In that spirit, today the Supreme Court proclaimed that the Rooker/Feldman doctrine remains unchanged after today’s release of opinions, proclaiming: “The Court today neither expands nor constrains Rooker/Feldman.” T.N. v. Univ. of Maryland Health System, No. 25-197 (June 18, 2026).
