Ah, @RichLowry - the intellectual lightweight or fraud. Ok Rich - so *technically,* if you want to play that game, court packing only refers to FDR's efforts with Judicial Procedures Reform Bill. Why was that different than, say, the size changes in 1801, 1807, 1837, 1868.../1

...a seat for partisan purposes, rushing a nominee for purely partisan purposes. They have *packed* the court, @RichLowry, with a singular ideology by abusing the advice and consent standard to a point that would make the Founders throw up. This CANT stand. This country cant...
...function if one party looks at the Constitution and says "make me." Now, I have suggestions for how to fix the ideological court packing done by the GOP by raping the Constitution through the use of interpretive loopholes that would kill partisanship forever. But whatever...
