22. I thought of him too

since I watched Ken Burns: The Roosevelts last week. His Conservative leaning, Dem Congress didn't support him, and of course SCOTUS didn't. But I think his plan was to make the justices leave by a certain age (he said they were all too old/conservative) and wanted age limits. He got the last laugh though...by the time he died he had replaced 7 justices.

If we can get the House and Senate and POTUS I think we should go for it, and also work on the Fairness Doctrine and Fux Ruse.
