Okay, great. So let's see what you're accusing me of:
You told me that FDR was packing the court (he didn't)
You'll note that I even said he didn't get around to it, "because the Court started ruling his way." At no point did I say that FDR got away with it, but his plan was in place and ready to go.
and that the SCOTUS was illegitimate
Nowhere did I say that. Closest I can find is that his court-packing attempt "puts a lot of the post-stitch rulings into question." This does not mean that the SCOTUS was illegitimate, just that the rulings should be taken with the appropriate grain of salt given the state of duress the Court was put under thanks to FDR.
thusly the New Deal legislation doesn't count because you personally believed it was unconstitutional.
Nowhere did I say that, either. Closest thing I can see is that I noted that he "continue[d] passing already-unconstitutional bills to get [his] way," which I stand by, since the bills are unconstitutional no matter what the Court has to say. Myth of judicial supremacy and such.
