FLASHBACK: Ruth Bader Ginsburg opposed court packing, said 'nine seems to be a good number'
Fox News
House and Senate Democrats are poised to introduce legislation to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court so President Biden can add several of his own picks -- a practice known as court-packing -- but the late liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once firmly came out against the idea.
"I have heard that there are some people on the Democratic side who would like to increase the number of judges," Ginsburg said. "I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court." Roosevelt's plan, she recalled, was for a president to be able to add a justice for every one on the court who stayed beyond the age of 70, which would have allowed him to immediately add six, bringing the roster to 15.
