President Franklin D. Roosevelt
No one knows but FDR
by expanding the nine-member court with up to six more justices
President Franklin Roosevelt reacted to the Supreme Court declaring some of his New Deal programs unconstitutional by proposing the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, commonly known as the court-packing plan. This controversial proposal aimed to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court, allowing him to appoint additional judges who would be more favorable to his policies. The plan faced significant backlash from both political opponents and members of his own party, ultimately leading to its failure. Despite this setback, Roosevelt's administration continued to implement various reforms that adapted to the Court's rulings.
President Franklin Roosevelt wanted US Supreme Court justices to retire in 1937. He proposed a plan to add additional justices to the court, known as the "court-packing" plan, in order to reshape the ideological balance of the court and secure favorable rulings for his New Deal policies.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced significant opposition from the Supreme Court in the 1930s, particularly regarding his New Deal policies. The Court struck down several key pieces of legislation aimed at economic recovery, arguing they exceeded federal powers. In response, Roosevelt proposed the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, which sought to expand the Supreme Court by adding justices sympathetic to his policies. This controversial plan ultimately failed and was seen as an attempt to undermine judicial independence, but it did lead to a gradual shift in the Court's stance on New Deal legislation.
