Asymmetrical Information

Question of the Day: Every

Question of the Day:

Every so often I come across a historical issue which I'd thoroughly forgotten about, and rediscover, with surprise, some averted disaster. Thus did I read about FDR's attempt to pack the Supreme Court, and realize what a truly frightening thing this was. How did the Democrats make a hero of a man who basically attempted to gut the constitution in order to expand his power far beyond what the framers intended, or what he was elected for? And what would have happened if he had succeeded? Is my horror unjustified?
