Black May Play Decisive Role In High Court
Albert Levitt filed a petition in the Supreme Court asking Hugh J. Black show cause why he is eligible to become an associate justice. Black's confirmation by the Senate 63 to 16 could influence future decisions on New Deal issues, including administration policy utility legislation Social Security and the Wage and Hour Bill. It remains uncertain if he will recuse himself on laws he helped enact, and the court's balance is now viewed as six to three in liberal versus conservative alignment. The seven hour debate exposed partisan tensions amid questions of constitutionality and Klan ties.
