The proposals being advanced for Supreme Court reform are ineffectual, unconstitutional or just plain terrible.

Let's start with the worst: court-packing. The idea is deeply unpopular and would inflict severe damage on former Vice President Joe Biden, just as it did to Franklin D. Roosevelt more than 80 years ago. In "Those Angry Years," the esteemed journalist/historian Lynne Olson writes that Roosevelt's court-packing scheme was the "biggest mistake of his presidency." The proposal was never enacted, but merely by advocating it, the president wound up "undercutting his influence and authority and [thereby] severely damaging his administration, the country, and the world for years to come."
