In this part 2 edition, guest Kelly Shackelford, president of First Liberty Institute, warns Dr. James Dobson that President Biden wants to “pack” the Supreme Court with four additional justices. If this were to happen, Shackelford says governmental “checks and balances” would be gone. In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, tried to do the same thing. Fortunately, however, despite the fact that 80 of the 100 sitting senators at the time were Democrats, they resoundingly said “No!” Logic prevailed, and the effort failed. Become informed and speak out on this threat of court packing through the website SupremeCoup.com.
