If you aren't aware of this, a law professor who is a prominent conservative wrote a paper urging a court-packing plan — the creation of many new judgeships for Trump to fill: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Liberal folks have been writing about this for a bit now — here's Dahlia Lithwick with some discussion of it: slate.com/articles/news_…
Today, the a senior district court judge weighed in, telling the professor — Steven Calabresi — to "Stop Pulling Imaginary Stuff From His Butt" (and telling the liberals to stop "whining"): blog.simplejustice.us/2017/11/29/kop…
And now, Judge William Pryor, US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit (and Trump's SCOTUS short-list) writes, "Many of Professor Calabresi’s ideas lack common sense." nytimes.com/2017/11/29/opi…
And, another good data point:
Anyway, basically no one thinks it's a good idea, publicly at least, except the two people who wrote it. ... But, that's not necessarily stopped ideas in 2017, so I thought I should at least acknowledge the discussion.
