News of the arrest of Mackey, and the specific charges, was available yesterday everywhere, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Department of Justice and innumerable other news sites.
If the morons posting here that claim that arrest and charges weren't "reality" are so stupid that they only get their "news" from cable tv... well, that figures. Stupid and ignorant is stupid and ignorant... no matter the excuse. That's reality.
On another note, actually related to this thread title and the "reality" assertion that there are other reforms besides packing the court being considered, that's true, they're all intended to overcome the current "conservative" majority... and one of the leaders of the commission is on record as stating that nine isn't written anywhere, including the Constitution, as being the requisite number of justices... I think she was smirking as she answered the question as to whether she would support increasing the number of justices on the court.
