Richmond council backs tests for drunken drivers before warrants
A Richmond City Council subcommittee recommends adopting an ordinance to require scientific tests of drivers arrested for intoxication before warrants are issued. The plan, approved by the Commonwealth Attorney, Hastings Court judge, and Medical College of Virginia, would hospitalize arrestees for standardized examinations to determine intoxication, with results shared with the arrested person and their physician. If consent is refused, the court will be informed and weigh it in judgment. The measure aims to ensure impartiality and deter acquittals based on lay testimony, potentially inspiring similar laws in other cities.

Move on court packing pact looms in Roosevelt era
Washington April 24 The first inkling of a possible compromise on Roosevelt’s court packing plan emerged off the record. An opposition leader suggested settling the issue by adding fewer than six justices but the administration insisted on four at minimum. The dispute hinges on control of the court, not numbers, with Congress and White House countries divided and budgets already shifting attention away from the judiciary. The piece also notes pressure from independent liberals seeking a larger relief allocation and Republican talk of further spending cuts, while cautioning against harmful departmental reductions.
