Packing the Supreme Court

The Corner: "The Democratic Center Is Now as Radical as Its Left"

As Charlie Cooke has written persuasively again and again, a partisan effort to pack the court would be functionally indistinguishable from rendering Article III of the Constitution moot. “Post-packing, nothing that the Court said going forward would matter in the slightest, and, by extension, any attempts to enforce its prior rulings would be rendered impotent, too,” Cooke most recently observed. “In an instant, the entire history of American jurisprudence would be wiped out, and, with it, the Constitution as a going concern.”

Clyburn hasn’t gone as far as the DSA activists in that regard. They’re admirably frank about their contempt for the Constitution, what with its separation of powers and all those odious obstacles to government by capricious diktat. Clyburn isn’t there yet, but he probably will be eventually. After all, radical revolutionary fervor is all the rage these days.

Is there a single Democrat who will have a "Sister Souljah moment" and stand up to the mob?
