At this point one has to wonder if it hadn't been better had FDR won his way against the Supreme Court back in the day.

- crop_rotation 4y agoIf he had you might be regretting the very same decision had a later President packed the court for his own less benevolent agenda.
- edgyquant 4y agoEvery president would do this to control congress by now.
- mrguyorama 4y agoYou don't need FDRs precedent if you're willing to just ignore the rules and refuse to seat a new judge who was appointed by the current president.
- edgyquant 4y agoNo, it wouldn’t have been. Populist dictators aren’t a good alternative to monopolies.
- refurb 4y agoFDR has a lot of really bad ideas that went along with ideas like Social Security and the FDIC, so I'm going to give a "no" on that. The Agricultural Adjustment Act was a terrible system of quotas to create artificial scarcity to boost prices. I'm glad the Supreme Court shot it down.
