Packing The Court


“President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed his 1937 “court-packing” plan to reshape the ideological balance of the Supreme Court and stop it from striking down his New Deal economic recovery legislation. Frustrated that a conservative Court had dismantled key programs like the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Agricultural Adjustment Act, Roosevelt introduced the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill. The proposed legislation would have allowed him to appoint one new justice for every sitting justice over the age of 70, up to a maximum of six additional justices.” Google AI.

Ultimately it is the voters who pack or unpack the Supreme Court. It used to be that you needed 60 votes to choose a Supreme but Democrat Senator Harry Reid and Democrat President Obama decided to blow up the filibuster for choosing Judges and as a result today it only requires a simple majority! Having lost two Presidential Elections (Gore and Clinton) to the Electoral College the DEMS are looking to “fix” America’s democracy which in the end will only exacerbate the political divide here!

And that is all I’m going to say about that!
