President VS.. Constitution
implications in Statement About Powers Of Supreme
Court to Rule on Legislation May Be Misleading.

The Supreme Court cannot act ever,
on its own initiative. 1t can only rule
If State, corporation, or individual
challenge before it an act of legisla-
ton on the ground of its constitu-
tionality. Not even the great liberal
modern interpreters of the Constitu-
tion-in so far as they are scholars
and not careless pamphleteers-havs
been able to justify the implications of
the Presidents speech. Prof Charles
Beard. for instance, dismissed them
years ago.
Liberties Are Limited.
As in much that the President says,
the meaning Of this speech is am
biguous. What does he mean when
he says that this Government never
has and never will take away liber-
ties unless a minority so abuses
liberty as to do positive harm to the
majority?
The liberties OF every individual
are, have been and always will be
greatly limited and circumscribed by
law. Even the liberties guaranteed
each citizen by the Constitution are
circumscribed Free speech, for in
stance, is limited by laws of libel,
prohibitions against pornography,
statutes to prevent sedition But
liberties, under constitutional gov
ernmeht. are not taken away by
government, but limited by law.
That is the essence of the quarrel
that many of us have with the New
Deal. That is the very essence Of
the difference between constitutional
government and the kind of govern
ment that exists in the relationships.
Dangerous Procedure.
Mr.. Roosevelt, to take a specific in
stance, wants us to hand over to a
commission of few men responsible
only to him the power to fix, within
limits, the wage and hour rates for the
whole of industry, with differentials
for different parts of the country.
These officials would have the power
to deprive many persons of what they
have thought, until now, to be liberties.
Their DEGREES would have the force OF
law. No doubt they would act accord
! ing to their own standards of what
| constitutes the public good, but they
might act according to quite different
standards, such as what constitutes
the good Of a certain political party.
Actually, in the modern world, and
| in most democratic States, there is
considerable of such regulation and
legislation made by independent bodies
to whom power is delegated by Legis-
latures. But there is also, everywhere,
the recognition that it is highly dam
gerous procedure, and many checks
are placed about it. For one thing
these officials are made members of a
! rigorous civil service and completely
divorced from party politics. But there
Is no indication, from the past four
years of our history, that such officials
would not be head over heels In poll
tics.
Differences in Liberties.
The difference between liberties re-
stricted by law and liberties restricted
by government is just all the difference
between constitutional and representa-
tive government, functioning contin-
ually, and plebiscite government func-
tioning periodically and turning over
Evening star., 1937-09-22

ernment Is intelligent and energetic
in giving the right direction to eco
nomic life. That this ideal is behind
the demands of labor for shorter
hours and higher wages, of farmers
for more stable income, of business
for relief from disruptive trade prac-
tices. And that an intelligent govern
ment can obtain these things without
taking away any liberties unless a
minority so abuses its liberty as to do
positive and definite harm to It's
neighbors constituting a majority"
Then, there is also in the speech
the reference to the Constitution as
"layman's contract" the emphasis
that it was "a charter of general
principles" expressive of eternal
verities." "The Constitution" said
the President. "says nothing about
any power of the Supreme Court to
declare legislation unconstitutional.
Again and again the convention
tconstitutionaD voted down legisla-
tion to give justices of the court a
veto over legislation"
SiEners Made No Protest.
The inferences likely to be drawn
from the above passage may be def
initely misleading. 1t reinforces an
opinion recently broadly disseminated
that the power of judicial review was
never intended by the trainers of the
Constitution, but was usurped. If that
were true, then it has been usurped
ever since the Madison -Marburg case,
which was ruled on by the Supreme
Court while most of the signers of the
Constitution were still alive, and not
one of them protested that the court
| in ruling on the issue had overstepped
| its powers. The power of judicial
| review is implicit in a written con-
| stitution, and was made brilliantly
clear by the trainers themselves. For
those who doubt it, 1 warmly recon-
mend reading the seventy-eighth and
eighty-first chapters of THE Fed
| eralist," which are as clear on this
matter as any words can possibly be
What the convention voted down
| time and again was the sp-called
Madison proposal, giving the Supreme
| Court the same sort of veto power over
| the acts of the Legislature that the
| President has. Under this proposal all
| legislation would automatically have
| been submitted to the Supreme Court
and Supreme Court veto could then
only have been overruled by a two
| thirds vote of Congress.
Sought More Power for Court.
Mr.. Morris Ernst has suggested that
the Constitution be amended to permit
Congress to overrule Supreme Court
legal decision by two-thirds vote, anc
he calls his proposal 'the Madison
amendment" which is grotesque dis
tortion Of Madison's idea. For Madi-
son wanted to make the court more
powerful, not less so, by giving them
4 veto right in advance of the enact
ment of any legislation.

(the Congress) were to make law not
warranted by any of the powers EMU
merated, it would be considered by the
judges as an infringement of the
Constitution which they are to guard.
They would declare it void"
James Wilson said to the Pennsyl-
vania convention:
IF law should be made inconsist-
ent with those powers vested by this
instrument in Congress, the Judges, as
consequence of their independence,
and the particular powers of govern
law to be null and void; for the power
of the Constitution predominates.
Anything, therefore, that shall be
enacted by Congress contrary thereto,
will not have the force OF law"
Luther Martin, arguing before the
Maryland convention against ratifica-
tion Of the Federal Constitution, said:
Whether, therefore, any laws or
regulations of the Congress, any acts
of the President or other officers, are
necessary to, or not warranted by,
the Constitution, rests only with the
judges, who are appointed by Congress
to determine; by whose determination
every State must be bound"
John Steele said to the North Caro-
lima convention:
THE judicial power Of that Govern
ment is so we'll constructed as to be
check. If Congress make laws
inconsistent with the Constitution, in
dependent judges will not uphold them,
nor will the people obey them"
There was so far as is known no
challenge in any of the debates in
the various State conventions of the
definite understanding that the ST.

acts of Congress or State laws to be
