last time that it was tried it's a bad idea now what's interesting is that when people talk of sturrock lee about the great presidency of f.d.r. the one mark that they always bring up was the attempted court packing plan i think what kind of an idea this is i don't care who's in power. that changing the structure of the court to achieve a short term partisan aim is a very bad idea does the court lead the nation all follow the action of this nation agrees with or all horses way they certainly agree with that what they health act so if you have a court that's out of whack with their country what comes 1st. well the country comes 1st and i don't think that's really a question with the court in terms of following i think the real question is does the court follow the constitution the court is not supposed to be a political body bending to the popular whims of the people just as the senate is designed to put a little distance in between the people and their representatives compared to the house the supreme court all courts or at least theoretically supposed to be a step further than that again t
