5 Feb 1937 Jahr - FDR Court Packing Scandal

Beschreibung:

President Roosevelt announces a plan to expand the Supreme Court to 15 judges instead of 7. He stated that it was to make the judicial branch more efficient, but his criticizers claimed that it was an attempt to get more people on his side of the New Deal. This plan was voted down 70 to 22 in the Senate.
