Supreme Court limits New Deal programs and NRA ruling
The Supreme Court issued three unanimous decisions striking at New Deal actions. It invalidated the NRA code structure for overstepping Congress authority, voided the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage moratorium, and ruled President Roosevelt’s Humphrey dismissal illegal for nonstatutory grounds. Rails of reaction followed across business and Congress as the administration eyed next steps and pending legislation faced new scrutiny.
