Packing the court is the worst idea for government reform I've ever seen proposed.

The court is already destroyed in our minds. Even if Roberts swings liberal on occasion conservatives have enough votes to enact any policy they desire. Is that a fair representation to the people of America?
We're already looking at a kangaroo court whether you agree or disagree - packing it would only make it official.
