LOL, I like the way you said this. It won't help us to act like them. And anyway, wasn't FDR thwarted in his attempt to "pack the court"? I'm not sure, because the kid hasn't got up to that part of American History yet; but I expect to find out soon.

Don't be an asshole. It was just a "what if", as I said (TWICE). And FYI, it is clearly constitutional. I know that from being not a kid who hasn't has American History, but from being someone who has, I'll bet, one more law degree than you do. Of course it's not realistic. Of course I'm just having a little fun, still glorying in the historic win of Tuesday. But this isn't DU, so why don't you cut me some slack?

BTW, check the post immediately prior to your. It say when FDR "threatened."

What you conclude will be based on whether you read revisionist history of today or sources of the approximate and little later time. FDR changed history in either case..depends on your political leanings as to whether it was for better or worse. Since I see things through conservative/Constitutional glasses, my vote is for worse.
