Yes, Let’s talk about “Packing the court” shall we?

This was an idea brought forth by FDR because The Supreme Court focused too much in The Constitution and going his New Deal to be overreach

FDR pushed it anyways. His power lust got him compared to Hitler. https://twitter.com/repjoekennedy/status/1307298448530706433
Shortly after "Black Monday," Roosevelt began talking privately with his advisers about how to curb the power of the Supreme Court. He asked his AG, Homer Cummings, to study the matter. Cummings and others first concentrated their efforts on a possible constitutional amendment.
Working quietly, Attorney General Cummings drafted a bill that, on the surface, appeared to streamline the entire federal court system.
Cummings proposed that Congress pass a law granting the president the power to nominate an additional judge for every federal judge who, having served a minimum of 10 years, did not resign or retire within six months after reaching age 70.
In effect, this would enable FDR to add up to six more justices to the Supreme Court as well as nearly 50 more lower-court federal judges. Of course, the Senate would still have to approve his nominations.
FDR sent his court-reform bill to Congress on February 5, 1937. In his accompanying message, Roosevelt stated that the judiciary should be reorganized "in order that it also may function in accord with modern necessities."
The proposal made it’s way to the Senate Judiciary committee. Many of Those testifying rejected FDR's plan as little more than a cover to pack the Supreme Court with liberal justices. The plan, they claimed, would make the court more political, thus undermining its independence.
Others claimed that it was not the Supreme Court justices who were overturning Roosevelt's New Deal laws, but the Constitution itself.
Chief Justice Hughes argued against “efficiency” of more judges in a letter stating, "There would be more judges to hear, more judges to confer, more judges to discuss, more judges to be convinced and to decide."
The Senate Judiciary Committee, although dominated by Democrats, issued a report that recommended against the president's proposal. "This bill," the report declared, "is an invasion of judicial power such as has never before been attempted in this Country."
Packing the Court has always been a corrupt scheme, born of deviant intentions, in which one branch of federal government tries to bastardize another, thereby eroding the base & foundation of our Constitution to push through agendas. It is irrefutably & categorically unamerican.
