increasing the numbers on SCOTUS so he can pack the court...

Hard to imagine this really happening - FDR tried, but that proposal failed (see: Switch in time that saved Nine), and the number never went over 9.

...Then shalt thou count to nine, no more, no less. Nine shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be nine. Ten shalt thou not count, neither count thou eight, excepting that thou then proceed to nine. Eleven is right out...

Back then in the 30s FDR had to contend with a Dem Congress that was, by and large, has a sense of patriotic duty. There were no avowed socialists, just some leaning that way.

Now we have filth like Sanders who is a Communist and others who have no qualms about doing it in order to get their “agenda”.
