Scranton Opposes Three States’ Rights Amendments
Gov. Scranton told reporters he does not support the three states’ rights amendments backed by the Dual Sovereignty National Committee led by W Stuart Helm. He said he will not block legislative action but cannot call the tune since the amendments do not require his signature. He noted the court-packing style proposals would empower a 50-state super court and curb Supreme Court influence as well as allow states to initiate constitutional changes.
