Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

The New Orleans "plan"

Washington Times Editorial:

...

Among the most notable unfulfilled self-imposed responsibilities: The mayor was meant to order an evacuation 48 hours before the hurricane landfall, not 24, hours, as he in fact did; the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority was meant to "position supervisors and dispatch evacuation buses" to evacuate at least some of the "100,000 citizens of New Orleans [who] do not have means of personal transportation," but it did not, and the flood claimed the buses, as the photo opposite shows; the city was responsible for establishing shelters co-ordinated with "food and supply distribution sites" which the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and others were to provision, but the city did not.
City officials appear to have been well-apprised of these responsibilities. As late Aug. 1, officials close to the planning confirmed to the New Orleans Times-Picayune that the transit authority had developed plans to use its own buses, school buses, and even trains to move refugees from the city when disaster struck.

...

The city declared that its hurricane-preparedness procedures were "designed to deal with the anticipation of a direct hit from a major hurricane." Such a hurricane hit, and New Orleans was not prepared. The first questions that legislators in Washington and in Baton Rouge should be asking are simple: Why didn't the buses run? Why were people left to starve? Where did all those dollars go?
