Some dredge. Are you having fun yet?

Around you guys? Always. Nobody disputes the increase in the size of the court. But as I pointed out, Lincoln's "court packing" is no worse than Jefferson's "court packing" and not as bad as Van Buren's "court packing". You need to keep these things in perspective.

That does depend.

Did the court-packing alter the balance of power?

Did it alter that balance of power in favor of the President?

If so, then that court-packing is proof of tyrannical corruption.

Now we look at Lincoln and the rulings...and we have that same proof.

Do you work at HP?

HP uses the tired ‘but they did it too’ defense
Companies in trouble often fall back on claiming what they did was common ...

They all seem to miss the point: Even if everyone else is doing it, that doesn't necessarily make it right.
