Description
The fascinating, behind-the-scenes story of Franklin Roosevelt?s attempt to pack the Supreme Court has special resonance today as we debate the limits of presidential authority. Burt Solomon skillfully recounts the major New Deal initiatives of FDR?s first term and the rulings that overturned them, chronicling as well the politics and personalities on the Supreme Court?from the brilliant octogenarian Louis Brandeis, to the politically minded chief justice, Charles Evans Hughes, to the mercurial Roberts, whose ?switch in time saved nine.? (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
