A propos de cet article

THE 168 DAYS, Joseph Alsop and Turner Catledge, hardcover, stated first edition, 1938. BOOK CONDITION: good. The text block is in good condition, with no tears or dogears, but some paragraphs have a penciled line next to them (without marginalia notes). Pages are age-toned as are the endpapers; three small ink stains on first pastedown. No bookplate or signature of prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The red boards are in fairly good condition (light bumping of spine, which is also faded; spotting on front and back covers). 8 x 5 ¾, 312 pages, 20 ounces XX [From Smithsonian magazine] The [1936] election-night jubilation was tempered, however, by an inescapable fear, that the U.S. Supreme Court might undo Roosevelt’s accomplishments. From the outset of his presidency, FDR had known that four of the justices, Pierce Butler, James McReynolds, George Sutherland and Willis Van Devanter, would vote to invalidate almost all of the New Deal. They were referred to in the press as the Four Horsemen, after the allegorical figures of the Apocalypse associated with death and destruction. In the spring of 1935, a fifth justice, Hoover-appointee Owen Roberts, at 60 the youngest man on the Supreme Court, began casting his swing vote with them to create a conservative majority. XX On February 5, 1937, Roosevelt shocked Congress, his closest advisers and the country by unleashing a thunderbolt. He asked Congress to empower him to appoint an additional justice for any member of the court over age 70 who did not retire. He sought to name as many as six additional Supreme Court justices, as well as up to 44 judges to the lower federal courts. He justified his request not by contending that the court’s majority was reactionary, but by maintaining that a shortage of judges had resulted in delays to litigants because federal court dockets had become overburdened.
