The Supreme Court in the 1930's was dominated by “aged” corporate lawyers who were stultifying needed reform initiated by the New Deal. When law after law was being overturned by being ruled unconstitutional, FDR proposed the the Judicial Re-organization bill. This initiative dealt will reform and overhaul of all levels of the federal judiciary. Historically there was no constitutionally authorized number for the amount of justices. Over the years it had varied. FDR may have been too bold with his action, but as the Chief Executive of the land, action was needed to reverse the affects of the Great Depression. In fact, it may of worked if Majority Leader Joe Robinson hadn't died early in the process. But, in the long run, another Justice Roberts, named Owen switched his vote in the West Coast Hotel v. Parrish Case in 1937. From that change came the oft repeated line, “a switch in time saved nine.” FDR got the last lasugh because almost all the judges resigned with in a few years. Maybe when Roberts switched sides, the other obstructionist judges; McReynolds, Van Devanter, Butler, and Sutherland decided to resign. The recent court ruling that will allow unlimited corporate contributions to political campaigns could be another blow to our electoral process. On top of the courts' rulings that allow individuals to give unlimited sums to their own campaigns, there will be more escalation in our insanely expensive elections. President Obama was right to express indignation. The whole process is out of control, and spending limitations, along with the consideration of federal term limits, should be passed and accepted by the courts.
