Money Excerpt:
President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to pack the Court in 1937. Many in his own party fiercely opposed him, including some who had been loyal supporters of the New Deal. One of them, Montana senator Burton K. Wheeler, declared to the president, "Create now a political court to echo the ideas of the executive and you have created a weapon...that can extinguish your right of liberty, of speech, of thought, of action, and of religion."
