When the institutionally reactionary supreme court blocked any attempt of FDR's resuscitation of the American economy, FDR unilaterally threatened to destroy their chokehold on "legality" by proposing to reorganize the federal judiciary by adding a new justice each time a justice reached age 70 and failed to retire.

You know what happened? The supreme court immediately capitulated to FDR, and he went on to beat everyone who went against the interests of the American working class over the head until they fell into line.

Biden could right now threaten expand the seats of the justices by two seats, soon three in two months when Sotomayor turns 70, to ensure Roe, or literally anything the mealy-mouth not-remotely democratic party pantomime its support for becomes the law of the land

But they won't because they serve the same fucking interests of the capitalist class and are equal enemies to the American working class, alongside the workers and oppressed people of the world, as the goddamn republicans
