Description

With some fringe talk about adding members to the court, a look FDR's court-packing scheme of 1937, why it failed and why it is a cautionary tale of a defeat of a powerful political figure.  However, the story also has unique qualities and may not be the exact precedent some people use it for.  What would be the consequences of an expansion of the Court's members, and what will happen with the Court post-Kavanaugh? Chris Novembrino of Don't Worry About the Government Podcast joins to discuss in Part II of the discussion about the Supreme Court.
