Ruth Bader Ginsburg: “Bad idea when [FDR] tried to pack the court… If anything would make the court appear partisan it’d be…one side saying, ‘When we’re in power we’re going to enlarge the number of judges so we’ll have more ppl who will vote the way we want them to.’”

Both make sense because RBG wanted to preserve the norms. Now they want to do an end-around what she believed in to get power.
