“We wouldn’t have liked it if Obama came in and dismissed the court. We simply can’t do that.”
FDR did it. He promised to stack the deck if they didn’t do as he demanded.
Exactly. Why worry about the Dems using strategies against us that they have already used?
First of all, FDR couldn’t have done it by himself.
I have no idea if he could have gotten Congress to do it with him.
I don’t remember the particulars, but I do remember that he threatened to increase the size of the court. Once again, how much success would have had in that? I don’t know.
His actions / intentions are part of the basis for why I urge such caution in tweaking the court. Any tweaking gives the other side an excuse to do it.
Right here now you go all the way back to FDR. In 2100, someone would go all the way back to now if we did it.
I made some grammatical errors in that so here we go again.
I also wanted to state, I wasn’t meaning to take you to task. My wording may have sounded like it. I realized what you said was true and there wasn’t any reason to take you to task.

Right here now you go all the way back to FDR to mention the other side wanted to do it. In 2100, someone would go all the way back to now if we took measure to change the court.
My advocacy would center on Roberts and his clearly overlooking the flawed legislation to pave way for give Obamacare a pass illegally.
The man should be removed on that basis. An impeachment would be the way to go.
