Van Devanter Quits Supreme Court After 26 Years
Associate Justice Willis Van Devanter announced his retirement from the Supreme Court effective June 2 1937. The move upends a four judge conservative bloc and reshapes the Senate fight over the administration court reorganization bill. The Logan amendment proposing annual appointments faces swift defeat as the committee rejects all amendments. Van Devanter’s retirement, enabled by a 1937 law, reduces new appointment slots to five and follows his letter to President Roosevelt stating his age of 78 and intent to retire with full pay.
