There's #gaslighting afoot, and it's the #torchsong of Sad Sack @DanRather:

#Dan, you're nearly old enough to remember actual #courtpacking, the #FDR proposal to add justices to the court, increasing the total number of justices on a formula related to justices turning 70.

For those who prefer to learn facts of what actually was proposed as #courtpacking, just @Google, @Bing, or @DuckDuckGo the term.

Here's a hint: #Dan is caught in another lie of his own manufacture.

Neither party has demonstrated #courtpacking by the practices of nominating and confirming justices to the 9-member #SCOTUS.

#Courtpacking refers to increasing the complement of justices on the Supreme Court in order to modify the outcomes of cases.

That's what #FDR proposed. That's what Congress rejected as #DOA back then. That's what #TheAmericanPeople will be rejecting again when they re-elect @realDonaldTrump on 11/3/2020.
