Re: Biden Court Position
What do you call breaking years of precidence by holding supreme court seat open for a year? Or refusing to hold hearings for Obama judicial appointments at the lower and district levels. There were at least a hundred vacancies orchestrated by GOP Mitch. In essence, he did that to "pack" the court if the adminstrations changed.
These are two example of how the GOP used their power to effect the court. Now you response did upper case SCOTUS, so I think you are narrowly asking about that...because maybe you know at the lower levels they did pack the court.
From the article I sent, it does say FDR increased the court. Obviously he is not GOP. So if the term pack means add additional members...then I have no examples.... indirectly, what they did to Garlen, had the same effect.

Re: Biden Court Position
My perspective on the courts has always been that judges should be conservative in their interpretation of the Constitution and of the Law. I dont want activist judges. I don't want an activist court.
We have Congress that is supposed to be the body of activism in creating legislation and the Executive Branch that is the body that executes the legislation.
If the Court turns into another legislative body, the whole thing crumbles.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Biden Court Position
You people are fools. Republicans have already packed the court. Democrats simply want to "unpack" it. Don't you all feel stupid now.
Racism = Anti-racism
Fascism = Anti-fascism
Packing the court = Unpacking the court
Anyone who thinks these word games are not deliberate is fooling themselves.
One more.

Re: Biden Court Position
Democrats are trying to convince the unwashed masses and their delusional follower, of which we have many on this board who will swallow anything (MUH RUSSIA!), that what Republicans are doing is "packing the court". It's deliberate conflation/confusion. It's what they do. The Democratic party is the party of Orwell's 1984 now.
