Hoover Defies Senate in Parker Supreme Court Fight
President Hoover escalates a White House pressure campaign to push John J. Parker's confirmation to the Supreme Court. As Senate hostility remains, Hoover uses daily polling and personal lobbying to tilt undecided votes, aiming to secure approval before adjournment. The battle divides parties, with Parker supported mainly by Democrats and Southern senators, while Republicans and northern Democrats oppose due to past record and electoral fears. The outcome hinges on wavering lawmakers amid shifting polls.
