Good! Get the House and Senate versions reconciled, voted on and sent over to President Trump by Monday for his signature.

That will send a message.

Then send an even bigger message by having someone like Ted Cruz introduce legislation to expand SCOTUS members from 9 to 13 allowing President Trump to choose 4 more Scalias to pack the court with enough conservatives to cause a century of lasting conservative effects.

And let Cruz argue the blocked EO before the Supreme Court.

Even at the height of his New Deal popularity, with the great majority of the country solidly behind him, Roosevelt's "court packing" scheme was shot down. I don't want to see Trump waste valuable political capital on something that will go nowhere and serve only to bog him down.

Yes, I know, there's nothing magical about the number 9 for Supreme Court membership. But even so, inflating the court is a non-starter.

Yes! Four more Scalia-type judges.

Wish we could clone him. Oh wait! He was cremated so fast, there wasn’t time for a viewing and memorial service, or even an autopsy.

(I may be mistaken about the memorial service. But things went down pretty fast.)

My father recently passed. And for many reasons, including travel, he was cremated. But I got to see him. And I put a double chocolate chip cookie his pajama pocket. :-) because he loves chocolate.

Then we brought his remains from WI back down to Chicago, had a service and Memorial dinner. Then we placed his urn in the space he bought years ago next to our mother, where she rests in the most expensive casket he could buy.

I’m just saying, it was odd. When President Reagan died, people lined up for hours to see him. I am sure that there are many people who would have loved to pay their respects to the late Justice.
