If such a thing happened today, how many people think the Republicans or Democrats would stand against their own party’s president to the detriment of our republic?

How many Clintonistas or Bushbots would think anything was wrong with packing the court to favor their own agenda?

I am pretty sure some Republicans will have the metal to stand up to a ill conceived court packing scheme.

lrc,

That is why the republic continues. How long will that last?
