He’s referring to either a loss of the justices (In pelican brief, justices are killed for an envoironmentalism movement), or Obama inflating the number of Justices. It hasn’t always been 9, that’s just been the case for about 100 years or so. Wilson (I think), tried to up the number so he could appoint more justices, his wording would indicate that’s what he’s referring to also.

It was FDR who tried to pack the court because they shot down a lot of his new deal policies as unconstitutional.

It was FDR with the Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 that was an attempt to “pack the court” with additional Justices, not Wilson. Wilson brought us the Federal Reserve and the Federal Income Tax, among other things on the “Progressive Hit List”.....
