Roosevelt's 1937 effort to pack the Supreme Court. Unlike most work on the subject, Michael Nelson's focus is more on the president's decisions than on the Court's responses. It analytically narrates what FDR was doing (or choosing not to do) in response to these developments as they occurred. While keeping Court-packing front and center, Nelson embeds the effort in FDR's larger campaign to direct American government and politics in pursuit of his desire to entrench the New Deal lastingly in several of the country's major political and governmental institutions: Congress, the Democratic Party, and the executive branch, as well as the Court. It was an understandable effort: the Republicans had dominated all three branches for varying but considerable lengths of time. In the end, the president's effort was unevenly successful"-- $c Provided by the publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court $x History. 610 17 $a United States. $b Supreme Court $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529481 650 0 $a Judges $x Selection and appointment $z United States. 650 0 $a Law $x Political aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 650 7 $a Judges $x Selection and appointment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984544 650 7 $a Law $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993795 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1933-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nelson, Michael, 1949- $t Vaulting ambition $d Lawrence, Kansas : University Press of Kansas, [2023] $z 9780700634132 $w (DLC) 2022055160 830 0 $a Landmark presidential decisions 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011531.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68D359409E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
