A request of the New Democratic Majority Congress in 2009

[Fresh_Start]

please expand the size of the Supreme Court to dilute the impact of the Reagan/Bush appointments

[Thothmes]

1. Just remember

At some time in the future, a repub may well get a shot at filling those additional seats.

[Fresh_Start]

2. yep, but they have to be filled to begin with

and the next administration would have to wait for vacancies

[Thothmes]

3. Bet it will never happen

Even FDR, at the height of his popularity as President, backed up by a solidly Democratic Congress, could not change the make up of the Supreme Court.
Even though the Court was slicing up the New Deal right and left. I do not think that from what I have seen of Congressional leadership and the current slate of Presidential candidates that these folks could muster enough intestinal fortitude to tackle the task. Just my opinion.
