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.

Say it again.
