Increasing/decreasing the court has been used since 1801.

Since 1869 the SCOTUS has remained at 9. Other than FDR's threat in the 1930's, name one time it has increased or decreased since 1869. Your comment is misleading. But, I think you likely realized that when you made it. Move on

I wasn’t aware American history prior to 1869 was moot?

To the extent it is, you are absolutely correct. 👍
