SUPREME COURT GOES
ROOSEVELT, 5-4
I>o you remember, only four year- ago, when one
of the major national issues wa> Rot a war in Europe
but the conservatism of the I' S Supreme Court?
Do you recall all the taik about ''nine old men,"
the bitterness of the administration toward the venerable
jurista who tossed out New Deal legislation, including
the AAA and the NRA? And the rumors that floated
around how the President was going to "pack" the court
by appointing enough ne w justices to give him a majority
over the conservative bloc?
It seems like yesterday; and yet, President Roosevelt
as just appointed the fifth New Dealer within a period
of les* than four years. With the nomination of Attorney
Genera! Frank Murphy to the «eat left vacant, by the
death of Justice Pierce Butler, the score in favor of
the New Ileal is now 5 to 4 even ¡i" all of the older
members consistently oppose the administration, which
they don't.
" The new members of the hitfh court are all yuung-
Kters, as Supreme Court justices go. The latest appointee
is 47 yean* old. Justice Douglas is 42: Justice Black, 54;
Justice Reed. 56, and Justice Frankfurter, f>8. Barring
untimely death or resignations, the Rooseveltian in-
fluence will remain on the high court bench for many
yean.
Those four of the Old Guard—Chief Justice Hughes,
Justices Stone, McReynolds. and Roberts—must feel a
little lonely at times. Since the last presidential election,
three resignations and two deaths have cut down the
roster of the old court by more than half.
Of course, even before 1937, the Supreme Court
was not solidly anti-New Deai. Justice Cordoza, who
died, and Justice Brandéis, who resigned, were generally
sympathetic toward Roosevelt; and Chief Justice Hughes
from time to time cast his vote against the majority.
But the liberals were still a minority.
The members qf the Supreme Court are appointed
for life. They are beyond the influence of politics. Their
decisions are made on the basis of whatever interpre-
tations their personal philosophies make of the law.
The law is not absolute. If it were, many of the
Eresent duties of the courts would be eliminated. The
iw is a complicated network of restrictions and licenses
placed upon the action* of men. It is made by men,
interpreted by men. The interpretation depends largely
on the jurist's attitude toward the whole of society.
Each Supreme Court justice has a tremendous
responsibility toward the nation. Upon the court rests
the final judgment on new ideas and processes of gov-
ernment. The new court—strictly a liberal court—may
find itself, in years to come, compelled to judge some
of the most vital acts in American history.
