What the Hell...

The same letter to Lord High Chief Justice Greer would land one in the slammer for life.

"What the Hell..."

That says it all. There is an out and out war of the left and the leftist judiciary against our President.

Robert M. La Follette, Jr., U.S. senator of Wisconsin,Offers his support for Roosevelt's(D)"court-packing" proposal.

On February 13, 1937,liberal Republican Senator Robert M. La Follette, Jr. spoke out in support of President Franklin Roosevelt's controversial plan to neutralize Supreme Court justices who were hostile to the New Deal. Over the previous two years, the high court had struck down several key pieces of New Deal legislation on the grounds that the laws delegated an unconstitutional amount of authority to the executive branch and the federal government. Flushed with his landslide re-election in 1936, President Roosevelt issued a proposal in February 1937 to provide retirement at full pay for all members of the court over seventy. If a justice refused to retire, an "assistant" with full voting rights was to be appointed, thus ensuring Roosevelt a liberal majority. Most Republicans and many Democrats in Congress opposed the so-called "court-packing" plan.

"Our constitution is what the justices choose to make it." (February 13, 1937)

They packed the courts with libs back then.
