#13: "This is DOA and 100% Theater, yet we pretend like this is some sort of threat."

But they will try to pack the court. Roosevelt got away with this.

They are mad because they owned the SCOTUS for decades. They don't own it anymore. We actually have some semblance of checks and balances now.

Roosevelt got away with this.

No, he didn't. He proposed it, but it set off a firestorm in Congress.

Vice President Garner explained it to FDR like this: "Well, Cap'n, do you want it with the bark on or the bark off?" Garner was referring to a hickory switch used for discipline.

I find the SCOTUS to be extremely lazy with the number of cases they take.

Trump should expand the number of Justices so they could get more cases processed per year.

Make them work all 12 months of the year.
