The Bay of Pigs 1961 and Raul Castro resigns as head of Cuba's Communist Party

Pelosi says no to court packing vote, but....
What's worst than the Democrats endorsing court packing? The answer is a Democrat Speaker of the House that won't put it to a vote. This is from news reports:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in a press conference Thursday that while she will not rule out adding members to the Supreme Court in the future, she will not bring a proposed bill to expand the Court to the floor for a vote.
Asked whether she planned to bring the bill, reportedly being drafted by House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and others, to the floor for a vote, Pelosi answered, “No.”
Well, how is that for leadership? Don't you love that? So she's for packing the court but won't let the representatives vote for it
So here is the slogan for the Democrats in 2022: Pack the court but please don't make us do it.
This is hilarious for you and me. It won't be funny for the wokes or the squad. They will go bananas and turn on Madame Speaker.
Why is the Speaker doing this? My guess is that she knows that "court packing" would be an electoral disaster. In fact, it's such a disaster that she’d rather have Don Lemon talk about it rather than the legislators vote on it.

Court packing would be the last straw
According to news reports, the Democrats are talking court packing again. They plan to increase the Supreme Court to 13 Justices by adding four new ones. This did not work well for President Roosevelt in 1937, as I recall from my history class. Let's not forget that Roosevelt had huge majorities in the Congress as a consequence of the 1936 reelection landslide. Today, Biden has a 50-50 Senate and a single digit majority in the House. In other words, show me a mandate, because I don't see it.
This is a horrible idea but I am not sure that the Democrats will actually pull the trigger. Let me tell you why:
First, this is a 50-50 Senate and Senator Joe Manchin would be literally removed by West Virginia if he went along. I'm not sure about Senator Jon Tester of Montana but I don't think that he will go along with it. So that leaves the Democrats with 48 and that's not enough.
Second, let's force the Democrat leadership to put it to a vote. Force every Democrat to vote "yes or no." My guess is that we will see a replay of that "Green New Deal" vote when most of them dodged the According to news reports, the Democrats are talking court packing again.

Third, "packing the court" would literally blow up the union. What incentive would Texas, for example, have to stay in the Union? Or Montana? Or any other state? It would be the most destructive idea to hit the union since 1861, and you know how that one turned out.I do know this: The left must be putting some unbelievable pressure on Democrats when they propose ideas like court packing. I'm guessing that those voice mail messages are getting uglier and uglier by the day. Wonder how many Democrats will get "primaried" for refusing to pack the court?
The bad news is that the Democrats are proposing such radicalism that would politicize the judiciary and turn us into a banana republic. The good news is that it won't happen, but tensions between Democrats will change the climate on their side of the aisle.
