cardozo
cardozo was confirmed by a unanimous voice vote in the senate on february 24. on a radio broadcast on march 1, 1932, the day of cardozo's confirmation, clarence c. dill, democratic senator for washington, called hoover's appointment of cardozo "the finest act of his career as president". the entire faculty of the university of chicago law school had urged hoover to nominate him, as did the deans of the law schools at harvard, yale, and columbia. justice harlan fiske stone strongly urged hoover to name cardozo, even offering to resign to make room for him if hoover had his heart set on someone else (stone had in fact suggested to calvin coolidge that he should nominate cardozo rather than himself back in 1925). hoover, however, originally demurred: there were already two justices from new york, and a jew on the court; in addition, justice james mcreynolds was a notorious anti-semite. when the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, william e. borah of idaho, added his strong support for cardozo, however, hoover finally bowed to the pressure.
