Christopher Scalia, the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, told Fox News Wednesday that the idea of increasing the number of justices on the high court is "maybe an argument worth taking seriously," but added that some proposals by Democratic candidates were "just unconstitutional." Buttigieg is not the only Democratic candidate who has raised the prospect of overhauling the Supreme Court if they win the White House. CLARENCE THOMAS MAKES RARE INTERVENTION DURING SUPREME COURT ARGUMENTSScalia said the proposals echo Franklin D. Roosevelt's "court-packing" scheme from the 1930s, which the 32nd president eventually abandoned. It kind of intimidated a Supreme Court – or so, kind of the conventional wisdom goes – into being more amenable to what he was trying to do with the New Deal. The Constitution does not enshrine a set number of Supreme Court justices; that is up to Congress.
