Resumen del Editor
In this national bestseller, discover how the left’s partisan push to pack the Supreme Court with liberal justices has fully migrated from the fringes into the mainstream of Democratic politics.
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.

Historia
Impeachment is a double-edged sword. Though it was designed to check tyrants, Thomas Jefferson also called impeachment “the most formidable weapon for the purpose of a dominant faction that was ever contrived”. On the one hand, it nullifies the will of voters, the basic foundation of all representative democracies. On the other, its absence from the Constitution would leave the country vulnerable to despotic leadership.

Chief Justice Rehnquist's engaging writing illuminates both the high and low points in the Court's history, from Chief Justice Marshall's dominance of the Court during the early 19th century through the landmark decisions of the Warren Court. Citing cases such as the Dred Scott decision and Roosevelt's Court-packing plan, Rehnquist makes clear that the Court does not operate in a vacuum, that the justices are unavoidably influenced by their surroundings, and that their decisions have real and lasting impacts on our society.

Historia
Beginning in 1935, in a series of devastating decisions, the Supreme Court's conservative majority left much of Franklin Roosevelt's agenda in ruins. The pillars of the New Deal fell in short succession. It was not just the New Deal but democracy itself that stood on trial. In February 1937, Roosevelt struck back with an audacious plan to expand the Court to fifteen justices - and to "pack" the new seats with liberals who shared his belief in a "living" Constitution.

He is the star of a hit Broadway musical, the face on the 10-dollar bill, and a central figure among the founding fathers. But do you really know Alexander Hamilton? Rather than lionize Hamilton, Americans should carefully consider his most significant and ultimately detrimental contribution to modern society: the shredding of the United States Constitution. Connecting the dots between Hamilton's invention of implied powers in 1791 to transgender bathrooms and same-sex marriage today, Brion McClanahan shows the origins of our modern federal leviathan.

Academics, journalists, and popular historians agree: our greatest presidents are the ones who confronted a national crisis and mobilized the entire nation to face it. That’s the conventional wisdom. The chief executives who are celebrated in textbooks and placed in the top echelon of presidents in surveys of experts are the bold leaders - the Woodrow Wilsons and Franklin Roosevelts - who reshaped the United States in line with their grand “vision” for America. Unfortunately, along the way, these “great” presidents inevitably expanded government - and shrank our liberties.

Stitch in time saves the Nine
“It’s not about protecting rights, but rather it is more about protecting structure.”- Judge Anton Scalia
Senator Mike Lee puts it quite plainly. The last remaining apolitical body in government will be irreparably harmed beyond repair along with deflating the Constitution to nothing more than a worthless bygone historical document if the Supreme Court is packed.
There was an attempt in 1937 under FDR to pack the court under FDR, but it went no where legislatively because public opinion was against it. FDR tried to pack the court for one reason only and that was to coerce the other justices to be in the majority over “The Four Horsemen” on the Supreme Court and to rule his way. He was tired of the SCOTUS denying him the ability to allow the government to have more control and power that was direly needed to promote his “New Deal” because of the Depression.
FDR was not able to pack the court, but by threatening to do so he was able to influence one of his Justices to rule in his favor. By doing so, that one Justice saved the nine and court packing was not needed.
Eventually, FDR got everything he wanted and more because of his nearly four terms as POTUS and being able to hand pick nearly the entire SCOTUS during his tenure. History will forever remember FDR’s court packing attempt and failure, but it did record the damage that was nearly done in the process to the SCOTUS.
The fact is that Congress only has the legislative power to pack the court. It is easy to do. The other path is much harder because it requires a Constitutional Amendment that requires 2/3 of both house of Congress to agree and 3/4 of all State legislatures to ratify a Constitutional Amendment. But why pull the trigger to pack the SCOTUS? Because it would be in retaliation of a ruling that goes against the narrative of a particular political party.
The kindling to light that fire to do so has ignited already by the reversal of Roe v. Wade just recently and now the Democrats are poised to make this idle threat of packing the court a reality. This 50 year old rule on abortion legality was a poor decision in 1973 because it went against the Constitution’s Tenth Amendment.
Abortion is not ever mentioned in the Constitution therefore the issue has always been up to the States to decide period. The court’s decision was wrong back then and therefore should been overturned. This was never about defending the health rights of woman under the right to privacy or based on the 14th Amendment.
It was reversed because it was wrong from the start and just because some ruling has had longevity for a sustained period of time and has been upheld over and over doesn’t mean it’s right. The “Separate but Equal” argument defending segregation was wrong from the start and was summarily overturned eliminating segregation completely. And even though that was that law of the land for nearly a century doesn’t mean it was right. It’s ruling when it occurred was unconstitutional. Hence, it was rightfully overturned.
Senator Lee provide the above discussions in this book. He did that and more. He also provided his own personal insights not only as a young boy growing with a father who was the US Solicitor General, but as an attorney who argued in front of the SCOTUS, and as a US Senator who brings to life the importance of maintaining the number of Justice’s on the court to continue to maintain the integrity of the three independent branches of government that our Founding Fathers had created for this country.
This is probably one of the most important and timely books to come out. It is an essential tool for anyone wanting to be edified on the SCOTUS and why it’s history is vitality important to structure of our government. To dabble with number of Justices all in the name of promoting a political agenda is a bottle that does not need to be uncorked. Because once it is there will be no end in sight to what will happen. So, that stitch in time will always save the Nine.

Senator Lee knows the Law!
The book and the audible recording was informative educational and offered great perspective to the role of government. It was seasoned with Mike Lee's experiences and flavored by his sense of humor.

An excellent explanation of a complex issue
Sen. Lee’s explanation is one that I wish all citizens could hear so that there would be a greater understanding of the consequences of court packing.
