Other Sources I Am Using For My Paper Part VIII

Another source I am using for my paper is by Michael Nelson and entitled “The President and the Court: Reinterpreting the Court-packing Episode of 1937.” The article appeared in the summer 1988 Political Science Quarterly. The article delves into many of the political mistakes that Presidents make during the second term. 

 These mistakes include: FDR’s Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, Johnson’s ramping up of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and Nixon’s Watergate cover-up. The author focuses most of the article analyzing FDR’s Bill and the political consequences of its failure.

This article will be useful for my paper since it offers a broad overview of the Judicial Procedures reform Bill of 1937 and the implications of its failure.
