Bar Group Aims to Secure Independence of Supreme Court
The New York City Bar Association federal legislation committee urged Congress to amend the Constitution to set the Supreme Court at nine justices and to require mandatory retirement at age 75. It also proposed an independent agency to manage court finances, distancing the judiciary from the Justice Department. The push seeks calm, nonpartisan debate, resisting court-packing schemes tied to Roosevelt’s 1937 attempts.
