Roosevelt Proposes Major Court Reform to Pack Supreme Court
President Roosevelt stunned Congress with a draft bill to reorganize the federal courts, increasing Supreme Court size to 15 and enabling appointive power to balance New Deal priorities. The plan also covers injunctive reform and direct Supreme Court handling of constitutional questions, with broad political support from New Deal leaders but possible opposition from conservative Democrats.
