I wasn't into inciting a whole different conversation on the make up or number of Judges the Constitution calls for.

When you have the chance read about the Supreme Court during FDRs terms.

That jackass, the White Obama, tried to "pack" the Court simply by increasing their number and appointing his choices.

Several times.

I'm familiar with it, but thought this thread was about something entirely different.

I’ve read it many times.

FDR threatened to add members to the SC when they didn't find in his favor on one of his New Deal programs. When the next one came up, I think it was SS, they found in his favor. He had put some fear into them. Soon enough, he had made one or two appointments to the SC, and he didn't need to pack the court. But make no mistake, he would have if he needed to.

Keep in mind, he threatened to pack a court that would not go along with his efforts to destroy the Constitution. What conservatives should be considering, in addition to changes to the jurisdiction of the lower courts, is increasing the number of judges on the Supreme Court in order to restore the Constitution, preventing blatant judicial overreach. If it is explained by someone who is capable of selling their reasoning, like Reagan used to and like Cruz or maybe Trump could, the American people would agree with restoration of their beloved Constitution.
