In this, Guffey said, he was inclined to
agree with the news writer's who have
made such charges.
However, Guf1ey continued, the
courts reversab were brought about
not ~ 'the political wiles OF Chief
Justice Hughes, but by the statesman
ship Of Mr.. Roosevelt. He forced the
court to act in behalf Of the people"

ident's court bill because 1T smacka

democratic principles which were be-
coming the bedrock OF Americanism
during the administrations of Jeffer-
son. Madison and Monroe. 1t was
a spirit of partisanship which led
Marshall to issue subpoena for Presi-
dent Jefferson in the trial Of Aaron
Burr, "a subpoena which jefferson
rightfully scorned and ignored" said
Guf1ey. John Jay. the first Chief
Justice, he added, held that Office and
the office Of Secretary of State simul-
taneously. and he ran for Governor
OF New York while still Chief Justice.
Oliver Ellsworth was for over a year
both Chief Justice and Minister to
France. Guffey said that Justice Will
liam Gushing ran for Governor OF
Massa chusetts while still Chief JUS
tice; Busrod Washington, a nephew
OF George Washington, actively sup
ported Charles C. Pinckney for
President.
Recalls Impeachment Move.
Guffey said that "the Federal iudi-
clary of century and a quarter ago
was so saturated with politics in the
lnexcuSable sense that CONGRESS.
backed by the weight of public opin-
ion, finally found it necessary to act"
One OF the worst offenders, he said,
was Judge, Samuel Chase, who was
given to passionate harangues from
the bench" The House of Repre-
sentatives sought to impeach, but the
Senate failed to vote by the necessary
two-thirds. The effect, he said, was
to sober Chase and his associates on
the bench. and the supreme bench
was relatively freed from politics for
years afterward"
Guf1ey said that the Supreme Court
justices dipped deeply into partisan
politics" in the Dred Scot. case. He
said that President Buchanan had
been informed in advance of the de-
cision that Chief Justice Taney and
the court was to render in the Mis-
souri, compromise case.
Guffey, coming down to the davs
OF Lincoln, said that the then Presi-
dent had insisted members of the
Supreme Court should be appointed
who would uphold the acts of his ad-
mlnlstration, particularly the procla-
nation of emancipatio when he was
considering Salmon P. Chase for
Chief Justice, but added that Chase
had against him the fact that Chase
desired to be President.
Charges Continued Politics.
The foundations for a political
court were deliberately laid" said
Guf1ey. by the Republican party
elders who ruled this country in the
decade following the World War"
He charged that the Supreme Court,
IN the last few months, has INDUCED

the ground that his life had been dom.
mated by politics.
There Is vacancy on the Supreme
Court now" said Burke, and one OF
the men most strongly supported has
spent his life in politics, Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader of the Senate Do you think
that should bar him from appointment
to the bench?"
NO replied Guffey. He is in no
way disqualified.
The Senate rocked with laughter.
1t just depends then" said Burke,
upon what kind of politics a man
has, If he is to be barred from the
bench Again laughter swept the
Senate
Conally took up the questioning of
Guf1ey and wanted to know if the
purpose Of the court bill was not to
get judges who would write the kind
Of opinions that were desired.
Connally insisted this was what
Guffey wanted.
1T IS not a question Of age of the
judges, but the kind Of opinions they
write suggested Connally.
Both" replied Guffey.
DO you want to put Justice
Brandeis off the bench? He is the

said Connally.
Guffey hastened to answer that he
had no desire to put Brandeis off the
bench.
Declines Further Answers.
Connally tried to continue his oues-
tioning of Guffey and Wheeler was

ceived as an institution whose zeal was
to be directed to the promotion Of even
handed justice. But in actual prac-
tice," he continued, "the court has
fallen Woefully short of that idea.
The very fact of this debate here today
is sufficient evidence to prove that
the court has not played the role
assigned to it."
This problem "confronts us today"
Guffey said, because the Supreme
Court of the United States has been
partisan, prejudiced and biased in
denying working men and farmers
their fundamental legal rights :
Had the justices been half as Jealous
in upholding the rights of the poor
and lowly as they have been in pro-
tecting the property rights of the
wealthy. this problem would not be
resting on the doorstep OF the Presi-
dent and Congress"
The Pennsylvania Senator hit hard
at liberals in the Senate who today
are opposing the Presidents program
to increase the membership of the
Supreme Court.
The people Of this country are
aroused" he said They are dis
trustful of leaders who say. I am
for judicial reform, but l dislike the
Presidents method of accomplishing
it. When liberal puts the
word but after his declaration of
political faith. it is prime facie evi-
dence either that he secretly believes
In the philosophy Of reactionary Bour-
bonism or else he lacks the courage of
his own convictins. The test of Office
holding should no longer be what a
man says he believes: the test should
be what he actually does and how he
votes.'
Sees Super Lexislative Body.
The task ahead of the overwhelm-
lngly Democratic Senate today, Guffey
said, is bound up in the effort of the
Democratic party Ito transform the
United States Supreme Court from a
super-legislative body that is beyond
and above the law into the kind of
impartial tribunal for the adjudication
OF judicial disputes that it was orig
inally intended to be-"
1T is futile for Senator's to sit here
legislating on the most vital aspects
OF social and economic conditions if
they know in their hearts that what
is being done may be arbitrarily over
turned by a few aged justices who
substitute their own political predilec-
tons for the Constitution of the
country. This game Of political blind
mans buff is about over"
Guffey said he could not under
stand the position of those who pro-
claim their belief in the purposes OF
the Roosevelt administration and their
belief that the court has set itself
up against the program of the admin
lstratlon, but who at the same time
proclaim that it would be morally
wrong to do anything about the court.
L frankly cannot understand" he
continued. such a position, whether
1t be taken by Senator, a member
OF the House or any other citizen"
Recalls Roosevelt Plurality.
The American people, by plurality
never before equaled in their history,
indicated that they desired the enact
ment OF the Roosevelt program OF So
clal legislation, Guffey said. They
did not ask Congress to think up a
lot OF legal bubbles and sophistries
as to why this cannot be done or
that cannot be done"
In support of his charge that the
supreme Court has constantly been
mixed up in partisan politics, Guf1ey
declared that John Marshal! has used
cunning methods" to frustrate the

had been elevated to his present post
not only because Of his legal attain
ments but because OF his achievements
as Republican party leader. Hughes,
he said, left the supreme bench after
his first appointment to run for Presi-
dent. And that he was appointed in
1880 Chief Justice because OF his ac-
tive support Of President Hoover in
the 1928 campaign.
Insisting that politics has had its
place In the deliberations of the court
in the last couple Of years, Guf1ey
said: "A majority of the aged Justices
who compose the court were intent
upon thwarting the major purposes Of
the Roosevelt administration. BY
their votes the court invalidated the
national recovery act, the agricultural
adjustment act and the Guf1ey coal
act. Then 1t was that President
Roosevelt adotped the same kind of
straightforward. courageous tactics
which had been employed by his Illus
trious predecessors in office, Jefferson,
Jackson and Lincoln. He challenged
the moral and legal right OF five aged
justices to hobble the political life of
the Nation simply because they dis
liked the policies and the program of
the party in power"
Secs Master Politics.
Since the issue was Joined, Guffey
said, the Supreme Court has reversed
its earlier decisions on minimum wage
laws. 1t has upheld the Wagner la

curity act. He charged that the su-
