So, I take it you can't refute the changing of the numbers of Supreme Court members by Lincoln and the Republicans. From the Congressional Globe:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the supreme court of the United States shall hereafter consist of a chief justice and nine associate justices ...
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.
