In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched a stunning political gambit: the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill, better known as his court-packing plan. Stung by Supreme Court rulings that struck down key New Deal legislation, FDR proposed adding up to six new justices to the nine-member Court. This episode dives into the origins of the plan, the role of the 'Four Horsemen' — conservative justices Willis Van Devanter, James McReynolds, George Sutherland, and Pierce Butler — who blocked New Deal laws like the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Agricultural Adjustment Act. We explore FDR's secret task force led by Attorney General Homer Cummings, the 'switch in time that saved nine' when Justice Owen Roberts began voting with the liberal wing in cases like West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish, and the plan's ultimate defeat in Congress, led by Democratic Senator Burton Wheeler. The fight cost FDR political capital and damaged his New Deal coalition, but the Court began upholding New Deal legislation anyway. Join Lucas and Luna as they unpack this pivotal moment in American constitutional history. #FDR #NewDeal #CourtPacking #SupremeCourt #FourHorsemen #OwenRoberts #HomerCummings #BurtonWheeler #WestCoastHotel #Parrish #NIRA #AAA #SwitchInTime #1937 #ConstitutionalHistory #FexingoHistory #USHistory #FDRHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
