Too bad no one is around from the FDR administration to remind this clown how well his court-packing scheme worked.

Back in FDR’s day the Demoncrats had some integrity and love of country. No more, there isn’t a shred of integrity or love of country in the entire party.

FDR’s court-packing scheme worked perfectly. The intent was not to pack the court, but to intimidate it into OKing his blatantly unconstitutional federal power grabs - and it did, in direct response to the court packing threat.

Yup. FDR became America’s only President-for-life but even he couldn’t go that far, try as he might.

I wouldn't put it past the dems to try this again against the feckless GOP, but most likely they would go "the Scalia route" , better known as "The Pelican Brief" - assassinate those members that block your ambitions and replace them with libs, a la Merrick Garland.

As much as I dislike Mitchie McConnell, I will say he has done an excellent job managing the Court by blocking Garland and ramming through Kavanaugh.
