Supreme Court to Stay New Dealish for Long Period
Central Press columnist Charles P. Stewart argues that if Republicans win the presidency in November they may gain a Democratic Senate by 1942, but the Supreme Court is unlikely to swing away from New Dealism. He notes five pro New Dealers on the bench versus four conservatives, and identifies McReynolds as the lone dissenter. A liberal Roberts and evolving leadership could challenge future anti New Deal efforts. The piece frames a constitutional balance with potential sweeping changes dependent on presidential selections.
