I will NEVER FORGIVE THOSE FUCKING ASSHOLES WHO REFUSED TO VOTE FOR HILLARY IN 2016

178. Obama compromised too much, but I think restructuring the court would be a step too far

I completely agree with your post. Specifically, when the Rethugs first took back Congress in 2010, he should have let the Bush tax cuts expire for EVERYONE when the Republican Congress refused to pass a bill allowing them to continue for all but the top 2%. They would have lost support from day one and would have had to back down. Obama was a first rate President, but he repeatedly sought to compromise with people who had no intention of doing so.

But, I've rewatched the PBS American Experience FDR documentary many times (it's very good) and I think the tactic of restructuring the system so that your party can get more judges would play as bad politically now as it did then. It's no worse than what the Rethugs have done (not as bad as their voter suppression), but the general public isn't that knowledgeable and I fear that this would be political poison.
