judiciary committee and in turn re-
ferred TO a subcommittee headed by
Representative Dyer OF Missouri.
Mr.. Brands contention Is that a
case OF sufficient Importance to be
brought before the highest court IN
court OF nine judges consider and
pass upon It..
lie points out that the law fixes
the number of the judges of the SUI
preme court at nine. though the
original law relating TO the supreme
court provided that there should be
five judges, with four as a quorum.
Under the law increasing the number
OF judges the quorum was fixed at
sir. Suppose, suggests Mr.. Brand.
that members OF the our were dis
qualified because of interest or other
reason until, in u given cause. less
than the six necessary for q quorum
could sit. The litigants would be per-
fectly helpless to obtain a decision of
the court under such circumstances.
The court could not function and
would be powerless to act.
Members of congress do not like to
have the courts upset and brow out
laws the congress may enact. Yet, u
is pointed out. less than a majority Of
the Supreme Court may do that very
thing. IL two or more of the justices
happen to be disqualified in any case
involving the laws of congress.
In his bill. Mr.. Brand proposes that
the President shall be notified by the
clerk of the supreme court as soon as
Ii is determined that any justice is
disqualified to try any case pending on
the docket, and hat the President
shall proceed Immediately to desig-
nate q Judge of the circuit court of APP
peals to take the place of the dis
qualified justice. The appointment will
be sent to the clerk of the court and
inscribed on the minutes of the court.
There are man. senators and rep
r~esentatives who are inclined 10 scott
at this plan. They say that for more
q hundred years the supreme
court has operated without any serious
difficulty of this kind. They are oppos
ed to any temporary" appointments
to the Supreme Bench. And they ques-
ton the constitutionality of the pro-
posed act. The constitution a that
the judges of the supreme court and
other federal courts. shall be appoint
ed by the President. with the advice
and consent of the senate. The Brand
bill, they contend, would provide for
appointment Of temporary justices by
the President for a limited period and
