Introduction -- What the Supreme Court is, and isn't -- How we got to nine -- The first progressive fights -- FDR and the four horsemen -- The switch in time that saved nine -- An independent court -- From "bonehead" to mainstream -- Who's doing this? -- What's at stake? -- Conclusion.

"It wasn't long ago that liberal icons, including the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, were against the idea of overhauling the court for political gain. But now, in the Biden era, more and more powerful Democrats are getting behind the cause, claiming the high court is broken and actively dismantling our democracy. Even Joe Biden--who once called court-packing a "bonehead idea"--gave in to the progressive wing of his party, appointing a committee to examine "reforms" to the court after being sworn in as president. What changed? Mike Lee, a respected member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reveals the answer to that question and warns of the dangerous norm-shattering precedent that would be set by politically motivated attempts to turn the Supreme Court into just another partisan weapon"-- Publisher.
