FDR tried it - he wanted to get it to 15. He thought that justices over 70 were too old to get the work done so he wanted to add younger justices to make-up for the old ones.

If zero gets 3 justices, we’re doomed as a country.

Like the other poster said FDR tried it, and almost started a revolution for his troubles. And he was vastly popular at the time. If Obama tried it with his current popularity he would get a rebellion.

Besides it is the Liberals who rule through the courts. If they establish the precedent of packing the court, the next Republican would simply appoint justices until we could remove every dreadful activist ruling that the progressives have ever imposed on the free people of the United States. He has more to lose by this than we do. Obama is more evil, than he is stupid.
