Norris Urges Congress to Reform Courts and Seek Amendments
Washington March 12 Senator Norris Ind Neb urged congress to pursue both legislative remedies and constitutional amendments to relieve what he called the present intolerable situation in the courts. He warned that opposing limits on court power could push the pendulum too far and outlined eight legislative methods plus possible constitutional amendments he would support. He argued the judiciary has not kept pace with progress and that many judges cling to outmoded interpretations of the law. Norris attacked the idea that a bare majority in a life tenured court should overturn laws passed by Congress and the President, and he urged reforms for lower courts such as bond posting for injunctions. He stated the president’s court bill is constitutionally sound but questioned its wisdom and endorsed term limits and other amendments as desirable.
