I had a feeling that was staged. I also had a feeling that he would stack the court. Now you’ve linked the two and given me a reason not to sleep, lol.
While I would put nothing past Hussein, including packing the court, I believe he lacks the political capital to get away with it.
When FDR threatened to pack the court, both he and his “reforms” were very popular among the American people and the justices were viewed as the “bad guys”, stubbornly blocking needed reforms.
Obama and HusseinCare bothe have approval ratings below 50%, so, at this point, an attempt to circumvent the SCOTUS would destroy the Democrat party.
Also, it lookes very likely that by 2013 the GOP will control both houses and the presidency. At that point they could retaliate by adding twices as many new justices as Obama did.
