Joe Biden
In 1983, while Biden was still serving as a U.S. senator he slammed President Roosevelt for attempting to expand the Supreme Court.
“President Roosevelt clearly had the right to send to the United States Senate and the United States Congress a proposal to pack the court. It was totally within his right to do that. He violated no law. He was legalistically absolutely correct,” Biden said. “But it was a bonehead idea. It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make, and it put in question for an entire decade, the independence of the most significant body, including the Congress, in my view, the most significant body in this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America.”
