I agree that the final result was not a total defeat for FDR. However, if no dems had rebelled it would have been worse. In fact, since that struggle, no serious attempt to expand the court has occurred until now.
In 1937 one dem representative said, accurately I think, that court packing in this manner is on the same moral plane as ballot box stuffing and jury rigging. Quite a painful rebuke for FDR.
But current dems have no such honor nor respect for the spirit of the Constitution. It's all about power.

“I believe it was Jefferson who wanted to outlaw political parties,”
Not exactly.
Jefferson and Madison founded the Democratic-Republican party in the 1790s as opposition to Adams and Hamilton’s Federalist administration.

And at a minimum, as part of that reform package, I think additional justices need to placed on the Supreme Court." With We The People removing them as they were appointed.

Holder said Democrats must rewrite the Constitution in order to pack the Supreme Court with liberals. F You, Holder....go find a communist country to live in, and stop trying your d@mnedest to destroy this great nation.

I hope the Trump campaign is archiving ALL the calls for additional justices. If he wins, the Trump team needs to roll the video of democrats advocating four new justices. Then, he should thank them for the well thought plan, and then place four names into consideration for new justiceships.

Even if the Dems succeed in confirming more judges onto the Supreme Court, that doesnt mean theyll actually end up there. The 1869 Judiciary Act set the number of justices on the court at nine. I don't think that this SC would be willing to uphold that law's repeal and replacement, knowing that that would turn the entire court upside down. So, they could just declare it as being more than 150 years of "settled law", and that's the end of that.
Furthermore, each new justice has to be sworn in by the Chief Justice. I think Roberts would refuse to do that, because if he did, it would instantly jeopardize his rank as Chief.

Holder said the conservative majority on the Supreme Court would be "illegitimate" if President Trump fullfills his Constitutional obligation to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Bring it on, ***hole.

Oh that’s right, he’s the one who said Kick em. So who said punch ‘em in the stomach? I think it was Maxine Waters who said that yes and Holder said kick ‘em. Funny, I never hear Republicans inciting violence yet the media constantly bashes Republicans more than Democrats.

The Great Zer0 himself said “if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
Maxine Waters also told them to go around mobbing people: If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them theyre not welcome anymore, anywhere.

Sick ass people, and I can just imagine how much more violent they are going to get if Trump sweeps the election which I believe he will. If they riot in my town I'm going to take a bat to their freakin' heads. I am so sick of these morons and their crybaby antics. I unfortunately live on Long Island New York, all the way east near the Hamptons and needless to say there are Biden/Harris signs everywhere.
Probably the most hilarious one I saw was "Truth over lies! Vote Biden" Joe Biden, the guy who can't speak 10 seconds without lying his ass off is promoted as "Truth". What freakin' naive idiots.
Here it is, this is unreal that they would promote this moron as truth. THAT in itself is a LIE.
