(Re The Ac"nptatf’fJ TTess)
WASHINGTON, Jan—Quite
naturally in view of the result of
the November election, the Su
preme Court is the subject of con
siderable discussion. Technical
ly far removed from politics, it
nevertheless stood figuratively in
the very midst of the fray.
It was the court which put up
the barrier against many of those
key policies which President
Roosevelt defended during the
campaign, and a return to whi_
ch he advocated, at least inferen
tially.
It was the court to whose sup.
port Governor Landon exhorted
his followers, and for whose in
tervention he thanked Providen.
ce and the founding fathers over
and over.
And when the arguments were
ended, two states gave their votes
to Landon, 46 to Roosevelt.
Congress Sets Number
Among the whole range of
questions raised by the election,
there is none more complex than
this: Will an attempt now be
made to interpret this action of
; the electorate, translating it into
! action by the government And
i if so, how,
Speculation on this subject has
been traveling a devious way.
No one pretends to know the an
swer definitely.
One story whispered about in
minor official circles in Washihg.
ton, is that authority has b> en
found in existing law for presi
dential appointment of additional
members of the highest court, &
that Mr. Roosevelt intends to
take advantage of it, naming jus.
(tices of his own way of thinking.
A search of the statutes fails to
I disclose any such authority. The
constitution left the number of
justices to Congress. The first
congressional act, passed in 1789,
provided for six. Six times since
the law has been amended. The
latest act, passed in 1869 and still
in effect, reads:
“That the supreme court of the
United States shall hereafter con
sist of the chief justice of the Un
ted States and eight associate
just:ces.”
This is plain language, which
only Congress can change; and
under existing circumstances
there is not the slightest assur.
ance that even the overwhelming
Democratic majority in the new
Congress would consent to a re-1
constitution of the court to fit the
Roosevelt policies. Still, it might
if the House insisted.
Perhaps Biding Time
Is it possible that the court it.
self will be influenced in its fu
ture decisions by the happenings
of November 3?
Repeatedly the court has em.
phaslzed that this is a democracy;
subject to the will of the people.1
Repeatedly it has referred to the |
constitution as a flexible instru-1
ment, always to be construed in
the light of conditions at the mo.i
ment. Can a popular landslide I
enter into such considerations?!
Of course only the justices them-!
selves can answer that.
Finally, what about a consti.1
tutional amendment to reverse
the court? Could such an amend
ment possibly be phrased in terms
which would satisfy the requisite
two.thirds of the Senate and the
House, not to mention the 36
states needed for ratification? It
would seem an ambitious under
taking.
These questions ask themselves
in profusion. The court goes its
way. The President keeps sil.
ent. Perhaps after all, he means
only to mark time waiting for
the laws of mortality to super
sede all other laws. Six of the
nine justices are past 70. It
would be remarkable, indeed, if
appointment to fill several vacan
'cies did not automatically come
the way of the second Roosevelt
administration.
