Are you in favor of stacking the Supreme Court?

It doesn't just apply to expanding the number Supreme Court justices. This is strictly a right wing talking point

This is just false. The term "court packing" comes from the 1937 legislation FDR tried to enact that would increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court from 9 to 15. 

This is what court packing has always meant until just recently.
