    The last time the court was packed was in 1869 when Republicans added two seats so that Grant could appoint loyalist justices (of course, Republicans and Democrats were different then). FDR tried and failed 68 years later. Neither this nor impeachment/removal will happen.https://twitter.com/samstein/status/1049738985516531712 …

    McConnell should pack the court himself with Trump. What’s holding him back? Norms?? https://twitter.com/desiderioDC/status/1049738689847398401 …

        Thanks, but we weren't asking for your approval or permission. And things are very different now.

        The Court was packed in 2017. By holding a vote on Gorsuch, Republicans added a seat (which they had left vacant for 11 months, effectively removing it). McConnell killed the no-court-packing norm. Before FDR, GOP hadn’t stolen a SCOTUS seat from Wilson and given it to Harding.

        I wouldn’t be so sure of that. Let’s see what the Court does over the next 2 years. If it’s more voter suppression and brazen partisan gerrymandering, the Democrats will either pack the court to fix it or become a permanent minority party. What choice would they have then?

        Assuming more isn’t learned in the investigations. Mark Judge testifying he witnessed Justice Kavanaugh attempt to rape Ford could change the political calculus

        FDR's threat to do so succeeded though.

        maybe each side could pack the court, in a few years there will be like 80 justices, they will have to share seats, cheek to cheek...
