Abstract

What to Do with the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court and Democracy
Boudin, Louis B. | July 10, 1935 issue

In attempting to find our bearings in the chaos and confusion created by the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, it is important, above all, that people understand clearly what it is all about. Unfortunately, most of the discussion follows channels least calculated to lead to any solution of the fundamental problem. Most of the people are "constitutionally," that is, psychologically, unable to undertake a "revision," even a mental one, of the entire order of things given. As a result, people attempt to cover the basic confusion and utter impotence by futile and largely meaningless talk about a "liberal interpretation" of the constitution or the necessity for its amendment.
