Once I built a railroad Now it’s done Brother, Can you Spare a Dime? “Happy Days are here Again!” Happy days are here again, The skies above are clear again Let us sing a song of cheer again – Happy days are here again.

  19. Conflict over the Judicial Branch • During FDR’s first term, the Supreme Court had struck down several components of his “New Deal” economic programs. So…… • In 1937, FDR proposed the “court-packing plan” (Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937). This would allow him to: • Add more justices to the Supreme Court • Personally appoint the justices • Obtain favorable rulings for his New Deal Legislation • Wanted to establish a pro-New Deal majority in the Supreme Court • Why do you think this bill received so much opposition? • Opponents viewed this as an attempt to stack the court in his favor: not fair & would give executive branch too much power • Overturned because of unpopularity • Considered his biggest source of opposition throughout entire presidency
